Bitcoind malloc error after build Mac #3611

jfbolus commented at 12:12 AM on February 1, 2014: none

I've successfully built bitcoin in OS X 10.8.3 using the instructions provided in /doc/build-osx.md, while using MacPorts. Both make and make check run without any errors. However, when I try to run bitcoind, it crashes immediately with a malloc error:

[jfbolus@desktop bitcoin]$ ./src/bitcoind bitcoind(27208) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff7695d570: pointer being freed was not allocated *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug Abort trap: 6

Can you get a traceback?

Looking in the traceback it crashes when setgenerate RPC is called (both from thread 18 and thread 15). Is the crash specific to this or is it triggered with other RPC calls as well?

No new information, I'd close this.
