Package: electric-fence Version: 2.1.16 Severity: important According to POSIX, free() may be called on memory allocated by posix_memalign(), but Electric Fence doesn't catch the posix_memalign and therefore kills the program when the free happens. See attached ef_memalign_20101012.c; compile the program with and without -lefence to observe this in action.
