I agree.

Well, some people will make it as far as opening bugs against glibc:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1483
I agree that education would be helpful -- making it clear in the error message
itself that the problem is not with glibc. I think it would keep bugs like the
above URL out of the tracker here, or in distro bug trackers.

Created an attachment (id=4194)
--> (http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=4194&action=view)
more detailed sentence to replace just "glibc detected"
In this case, how about this patch, which leaves no run for misunderstanding:
*** glibc has detected an error in %s: %s: 0x%s ***

malloc error would be far more confusing, people would think this is an error in
the malloc implementation.

Can you please reconsider? I'm getting quite a few false bugrepors against glibc
about "glibc bug" with this message; people are indeed getting confused by
thinking this is some kind of internal error, IMHO. Changing to "malloc error"
would help a lot.
