Bug #6171: Segfault in rb_free_method_entry
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6171

Author: Joshua Ballanco
Status: Open
Priority: High
Assignee: 
Category: core
Target version: 1.9.3
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-03-17 trunk 35075) [x86_64-darwin11.3.0]


=begin
Running the following script in both Ruby 1.9.3p125 and trunk causes a segfault:

    class Bug
      def initialize(target)
        define_singleton_method(:reverse, target.method(:reverse).to_proc)
      end
    end
    
    1000.times { p = Bug.new('test'); 10000.times { p.reverse } }

and the corresponding backtrace:

Running also occasionally results in the following error:

    malloc: *** error for object 0x7fe658c8e9c0: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.
    *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

This is on OS X 10.7.3. I've tried compiling with gcc and clang, and get the same results (also the crash occurs at both -O3 and -O0).
