compiz assert failure: *** glibc detected *** compiz: free(): corrupted unsorted chunks: 0x0000000004363200 ***

[Chris Halse Rogers]

This is almost certainly going to be a duplicate of bug #863303, but perhaps with a better backtrace.

It happened when I had an Evolution menu open in the global menu bar, and Evolution popped up a dialog box. I'm not yet sure if this is reproducible like that.
