[Bug linuxthreads/1337] New: reports "malloc: top chunk is corrupt" when allocates second 2GB of memory buffer after pthread_create()

[Bug linuxthreads/1337] New: reports "malloc: top chunk is corrupt" when allocates second 2GB of memory buffer after pthread_create()

[igorodet at cray dot com]

OS: SuSe 2.6.5
CPU: AMD Opteron (2 way SMP)
Memory: 8 GB

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile the following program WITHOUT '-static' option set
2. set env. variable MALLOC_CHECK_ to 1
3. execute program

Output I see:
******************
malloc: using debugging hooks
malloc: top chunk is corrupt
free(): invalid pointer 0x2a959a4010!
free(): invalid pointer 0x2b159c5010!
s_buf=0x2a959a4010 r_buf=0x2b159c5010 size=0x80000000
******************

4. Compile with '-static' - problem disappears

5. Run dynamically compiled version, but with env. variable 
   'export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1' - problem does not exist

Program:
*****************************************************
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <malloc.h>


char *s_buf;
char *r_buf;

static void *
ErrorHandler(void *arg)
{
}

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
    int i;
    size_t size = 2*1024*1024*1024L;;
    int loop;
    pthread_t pthr_hndl;
    int res;
    
    res = mallopt(M_MMAP_MAX, 0);

    pthread_create(&pthr_hndl, NULL, ErrorHandler, NULL);    
    
    pthread_join(pthr_hndl, NULL);
    
    s_buf = malloc(size);
    r_buf = malloc(size);
    
    
    printf("s_buf=%p r_buf=%p size=0x%lx \n", s_buf, r_buf, size);
    
    
    free(s_buf);
    free(r_buf);
     
    
    return 0;
}
************************************************************************
Comments:
Problem exists only when M_MMAP_MAX is set to 1 (or 2) and program creates thread.
Looks like in this case malloc tries to use mmap and then gets confused when
performs heap integrity checks.

Works just fine here with glibc 2.3.5.  There have been several MALLOC_CHECK_
fixes recently.
