>Description:
Call to set_menu_mark results in __progname in free(): warning chunk is
already free. warnings during runtime. set_menu_mark argument 1 is
NULL so it's occuring on the internal default menu.
I'm unsure of the circumstances that result in this I've not been able
to reproduce it in a smaller program.
Some background about how it's being used:
The call to the set_menu_mark is inside a function, the free() warning
only occurs on the second run of the function. So the 2nd call to
the set_menu_mark function is resulting in the error.
The set_menu_mark function is not used anywhere else in the program
and is never used with any argument 1 that isn't NULL.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use set_menu_mark extensively with argument 1 NULL (so it applies to
default menu)
Here's some gdb output with a single step.
Breakpoint 1, select_if (ball=0xbfbfd558) at netcui.c:115
115 set_menu_mark(NULL, "(X)");
(gdb) s
cystinst in free(): warning: chunk is already free.
116 set_menu_unmark(NULL, "( )");
(gdb)
>Fix:
I haven't looked extensively, perhaps later.
