Comment 2 for bug 197176

Hi,

This error is probably caused by a buffer overflow on the
stack, which is what the stack smashing protection
is there to prevent. It can be used maliciously in an
attack, but it can also be a programming error, which
is probably the case here.

It would be useful to get a backtrace, I think you may
get one if you run under gdb.

Also, the core might be hiding in /var/crash/

Thanks,
