Bug#682887: eog crashes with *** glibc detected *** eog: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000001d64c00 ***

[Roberto Di Cosmo]

Package: eog
Version: 3.4.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch


eog requires to upgrade libxi-dev:amd64 to a version >> 2:1.3-6,
and 2:1.6.1-1 worked for me. Otherwise eog crashes with the error
*** glibc detected *** eog: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000001d64c00 ***

Since linxi-dev is not a direct dependency of eog, the problem might lie
in some intermediate package in the dependency chain from eog to libxi-dev.

The system information below is *after* upgrading libxi-dev to the working version.
