Fogger does not close opened processes

[Jacob Winski]

Newest Fogger from PPA:
$ /usr/bin/python /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/fogger/bin/fogger --version
fogger 0.2.3.1

After closing the Fogger window Fogger processes are not closed. Every process Fogger opened stays opened. If Fogger is opened multiple times, every single process stays after closing. This means hundreds of open processes after using Fogger for a few days.

What is weird is that sometimes this happens, sometimes it closes. Sometime it does a "clean" close, other times it coredumps but still closes the process. When it does not close the process, it always has a glibc error. When it does close the process, there is never a glibc error.

So on and so forth. Part of the output from these processes:
[snip]
*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: corrupted double-linked list: 0x0000000002f0a810 ***

Another process had this glibc error instead:
[snip]
*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x00000000038a7220 ***

No glibc error.

After trying different fogapps (two GMail, two Google Apps Gmail, one Google+), the only thing I noticed in the output was that when fogger would not close the process there was always a glibc error. That is the only output that the bad fogger process had in common. For these tests I have tried opening different fogapps about 50 times.

Am I the only one with this *** glibc detected *** error? Fogger is so awesome, but with this glibc problem totally unusable.
