*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption:

[Clinton Parham]

Ulrich:

Thanks for the reply.

This is the relevant section in my xinitrc-common:
if [ -z "$XKB_IN_USE" ]; then
    [ -r "$sysmodmap" ] && xmodmap "$sysmodmap"
    [ -r "$usermodmap" ] && xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

sysmodmap resolves to:
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/Xmodmap

Are you suggesting that I post the xinitrc-common snippet and the contents 
of /etc/X11/Xmodmap to bugzilla.redhat.com along with the error from 
Xorg.0.log?

Thanks.
