After update to libc6-2.7-5ubuntu2 in hardy, lots of applications crash

[Simon Kagstrom]

Binary package hint: libc6

After the upgrade this morning (I have a thinkpad x41, i386), I get these:

   [ska@lska2 ~]$ bash

   malloc: unknown:0: assertion botched
   free: called with unallocated block argument
   last command: $CIBYL_BASE/tools/compiled/translator/xcibyl-translator 0 10 -DJSR075 tmpclasses/ c/program /home/ska/projects/cibyl/trunk/include/generated/cibyl-syscalls.db cibyl-syscalls.db
   Aborting...Aborted (core dumped)

Things like login also no longer works, so I suspect I won't be able to start the computer when I turn it off for the day. I have a core dump from /bin/login, but I cannot attach it since sudo doesn't work:

[ska@lska2 ~]$ sudo cp /var/crash/_bin_login.0.crash .
