Seems to be triggered in journalctl by opening activities and then starting to type something in the search box:

Mar 14 11:18:34 host org.gnome.Documents[5440]: *** Error in `/usr/bin/gjs-console': malloc(): memory corruption (fast):
0x00007f27d4029a70 ***

I can reproduce it consistently.

[Bruce Pieterse (octoquad)]

Some more output if I search:

Problem is still present, and happens daily.

[Lars Falk-Petersen (julenissen)]

Seems media keys stop working after this crash, and a reboot (or log out/in?) is needed to bring them back.

"Seems media keys stop working after this crash, and a reboot (or log out/in?) is needed to bring them back."

I confirm this problem.
This crash happens mostly in these cases for me:

1.) Restarting pulseaudio
2.) Suspending computer -> at wakeup the crash happens

This is sometimes accompanied by pixelation of the background on the desktop.

[Erikson Kaszubowski (erikson84)]

Same problem here. But for me, it happens whenever I open a LibreOffice application.
I'm using Ubuntu GNOME Vivid Vervet.

It started to happen after installing fglrx drivers and reverting back to xorg ATI drivers.

I don't know which log files might be useful, but I can replicate the problem reliably here and I can produce any log needed.

[Edson T. Marques (edsontmarques)]

Here it happens when running dconf editor

[darthanubis (darthanubis)]

Happened upon opening of gcalc.

Using the Gnome Staging PPA.

[Dustin Webber (dustin-webber)]

For me it happens everytime I use the software update GUI.

[Bruce Pieterse (octoquad)]

I've gotten this twice in the same session on Wiley fresh install (1 day old). Not sure what's triggering it at the moment.

[Garret Hartman (gkhartman612)]

Happens when starting the software updater GUI for me as well.
