[Crash-utility] WARNING: malloc/free mismatch

[Pierguido Lambri]

Hello,

Today while I was looking into a vmcore, I got suddenly the message in $SUBJECT.
It started after I did a search into the process stack pages (search -t) 
and for each command I run afterwards I kept getting that message.
For example:

$ retrace-server-interact 603967269 crash
...
crash> search -t ffff88040a0d5280

search: invalid list entry: 0

I guess this comes from a possible corrupted vmcore (I just got it from this vmcore),
but I wonder why every new command keeps returning the same message.

Thanks,

Pier
