Bug Description

Resizing a terminal window while running top causes it to crash with:

*** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0806dad8 ***

This can take a few resizes to duplicate.

Thanks for your bugreport.

I was able to reproduce the problem. But it took quite a lot of resizing before
I was able to trigger it. And it dosn't happen when top runs inside a debugger.
Fun :)

It looks like http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=256376

Cheers,
