"glibc detected - double free or corruption"

msfconsole. It doesn't matter which exploit I'm using, no SSL; just the bare 
essentials.

The results I found while searching for that error message indicate that it 
mainly occurs on Redhat/Fedora... But other than that, I don't know much 
about what's going on.

Bizzare, I will try to reproduce this tonight. Is there a specific exploit
you are using that is triggering this flaw? Are you using msfconsole,
msfcli, or msfweb? Any chance this exploit is set to use SSL? Just trying
to narrow down where the problem might lie.

Running the Framework on Fedora Core 3; when trying to perform an
exploit it (seemingly randomly) will begin the process and then stop
with an error that says,

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0912d4d0
***

This happens on versions 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 of Framework... but it
doesn't do it every single time.

I did a search for that error message and other people have had that
problem on Fedora Core 3, in other programs. One person suggested
doing:

export MALLOC_CHECK_=1

but even this didn't fix the problem; I just got other errors.
