Eterm crashes - malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x08080318

Lately Eterm started to just "disappear" from the screen. I checked the ~/.xsessionerrors and the last messages are:
*** glibc detected *** Eterm: malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x08080318 ***

Windows 7 crashing from memory corruption

For a while now my computer has been crashing at random times. I know it is from memory corruption but I don't know how to fix this I have logs for a little while ago but the newer ones can not be opened because of this.
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=92544E03407D477B%21161
This is the file for the dmp files sadly these are the only accessible ones.
One more thing is I am pretty sure it is from a malware because I changed computer yet it was still happening, I would just like to know how to fix this thanks.

IPhone SDK 2.2 memory corruption

Hello. I'm working on an application for iPhone SDK 2.2 and seem to be having weird memory corruption problems. Not necessarily leaks because using Instruments shows my memory stamp never going above about 1.8 megs. The nature of the app is a database of animals so I'm constantly loading and unloading sounds and images. None of the objects are very large (at most I'll have 4 800k pngs loaded at once) and I've checked and rechecked my alloc/retain/release and everything is in order (hence no memory usage increase). However...after using the application for a while I'll notice strange behavior. For example:
1) we have a UILabel as the title for each page. After a while the font size of this will change.
2) I have several screens with a subclassed UIScrollView where images are loaded and then added to. The problem shows itself here by the images not showing up. there's no crash, stepping through the debugger shows that the image loads up fine, it's just that the image is not there.
3) I have a UILabel at the top of an animal description screen, which in the nib file is called "Animal Name" by default. This will change to show "Animal Name" at the top.
I've removed all audio in our latest build so that isn't the problem. What I'm starting to suspect is that altering anything defined in a nib file will cause corruption. For example, the UIScrollView is defined in the nib file, and I constantly am reassigning the contents of that with a UIImageView. This UIImageView is handled within the subview class like :
UIImageView *imgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: [ UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle ] pathForResource:imageToLoad ofType:@"png" ]] ];
imgView.tag = 50;
[self addSubview:imgView ];
[ imgView release ];
Then later when moving away from the screen I'll find that view's tag and remove it from the superview (since addSubView increases the retain count, the alloc+addSubView is cancelled by release+removeFromSuperView)
I can't explain why titles that are never changed would be affected, but it must somehow be related. What I'm wondering is: are there any known issues involving modification of the contents of objects defined in Nib files? Perhaps the memory allocated when initWithNibName is restrained, then any modification of objects allocated within it can cause corruption. I'm starting to think I should just alloc and free anything modified in code and skip using nib files altogether (I reset the text on buttons for example). If this is a known issue please let me know. I'll give you more information if I can.
Thank you

Just download the huge SDK package and install. No need to uninstall the old SDK.

Memory corruption due to bad RAM in late 2012 iMac

I just unpacked a brand new late-2012 iMac a few days ago. Its specs are basically maxed out, only choice being the 3TB fusion drive. To summarize:
3.4 GHz Core i7
32GB RAM
3TB Fusion Drive
2GB NVidia
Latest patches for Mountain Lion
Since I got it, I have been experiencing intermittent abnormalities with it. Programs randomly crash with error messages along the lines of "such and such file appears corrupt, please run --repair".
I do a lot of programming in my job and just today I started getting bizarre 'segmentation fault' messages in Terminal. What worked just a few minutes ago started crashing with a segfault. The exact same programs have no negative effect on my Macbook Pro and work just fine. In a matter of minutes, the entire iMac became unresponsive and I got the "we shut down your computer to prevent damage" panic screen.
After a reboot, I started thinking it could be some sort of memory corruption. I downloaded the 'memtest' utility and started the basic test with:
memtest all 2
In just a few minutes, below are the results I receive (I re-ran multiple times to the same effect).
Any opinions on whether this is indeed bad RAM? How do I handle this with Apple support? Any suggestions/comments are most welcome.
Thank you,
Ozgun

This must be my last last thing. AHT was on an iMac I bought in 2009. It was included on my "disk 2" along with several other applications. When I wiped and installed the full Lion, AHT was gone. Same is true for the full Mountain Lion installation media. It does not have AHT. I'm not at all sure how to get it back from Apple.
I was able to find it on my SL disc 2 and extract it again from that. Disc 2 won't install on Mountain Lion (the packages are too out of date) but the AHT pkg does.
Since you have it, consider packing it up and keeping it safe. Maybe someone who knows AHT better than I can elaborate on AHT. From what I've seen, you get it when your mac ships but if you ever wipe and reinstall the OS, you lose it.

MacBook won't start after latest OS update ("Possible memory corruption")

I am running a late 2009 MacBook, 250GB, 4GB ram. I have just updated the OS (standard, regular update), iTunes and an older iMovie update. I made the necessary restart, and begun using iTunes. After 5 minutes, it crashed, and when turned back on, the startup apple logo screen was filled with command prompt code. The only thing I can do, is to force it to shutdown. At the top of the command prompt text, it now says "possible memory corruption".
Latest update: I am now met with a black screen every time I turn on - the "sleep" light is on, but that appears to be all that's happening.
Help!

Do you have any 3rd party memory modules installed? What system did you upgrade from? What MacBook module do you have, i.e.
Check the memory modulds to make sure they are securly seated and try again. If you have 3rd party modules installed remove them and leave just the original Apple modules and try a restart.

Memory Corruption?

Hi there, recently I reinstalled Windows and upgraded from 7 to 8.1. Back on Windows 7 I had a strange bsod every so often when playing this one game I like called Dungeon Defenders: Eternity. Part of the reason I switched from 7 to 8.1 was to get a fresh
install of Windows and some driver compatibility so I could play it bug free. It worked for about 4 days too! On Win 7 the bsod was 'probably caused by nwifi.sys' but if you look down at the new Windows 8.1 dump it says that it's a 'memory_corruption'. How
should I go about fixing this? I have some unused RAM from ages ago, never opened so I guess I could replace it, but it would be a downgrade. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is... Do I need new RAM? Is it faulty?
Oh ya, before I forget, due to this bsod only being caused by ONE game and my pc running perfectly everywhere else, I can't help but feel like my RAM is not the issue here.
Somebody save me!

These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver). We could use the actual DMP file for analysis
Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
Since it is more likely to be a driver please run verifier first.
1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
If verifier does not find the issue we can move on to this.
2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)
If you cannot boot after enabling verifier reboot into safe mode

Well, the pithy answer would be to buy a computer from a vendor who supports free operating systems.
Of course, I own and love my DV4.
What does it mean? Some BIOS implementations use areas of low memory without properly allocating it (letting the operating system know it is in use). Windows just does not use that area of memory, and some vendors do a sloppy job in their software quality; it only has to work with Redmond code, so why fix it?
Linux is forced to implement a bunch of ridiculous hacks to work around low quality hardware and firmware. You found one. The kernel was watching that memory to see if it could be trusted. Something changed that memory when nothing (in the kernel's view) should have touched it. Since it changed, the kernel has taken note that that memory should not be trusted. Kind of analogous to finding a bad block on a disk drive and subsequently ignoring it by adding it to a list of bad blocks.
So, aside from sucking it up because you lost some usable memory, you need do nothing.
EDIT: BTW, it probably means the new kernel is more stable.

Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one to no avail.

Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one. I found Final Cut now loads but each of the backups and files in the previous 3 versions won't load. I've worked on the project for 3 weeks. Im suprised the backup files won't load either!?! I've only rendered 1 low res version. I am thinking I will have to rebuild the project in Final Cut 7. That is simply too risky to have all my back ups not load up!!

I'm a little confused by this?
Final cut now opens if launch older projects. But if I actually click on the project it crashes. Im not sure what you mean by events? I've moved them from the events folder.
but when I open up and of the projects the FInal Cut opens but then wont load the project even with no events in the FInal Cut Events folder.

Acrobat Pro X crash and file corruption

I'm having an issue with Acrobat Pro X. While I was using the touchup reading order tool to select a form field, Acrobat crashed. Now, when I attempt to open the file, I'm getting a message that states "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I'm not sure how this occurred and I don't believe it was something I did since I was not doing anything out of the ordinary when it happened.
Is there any way around this issue that would allow me to open this file?

The file is corrupt. Either it was corrupt which caused the crash or the crash caused the corruption. But your file is toast. Best solution is to restore the file from backup.

Hi:
Actually with the Intel Core i7-720QM processor, you can install 2 x 8 GB of PC3-10600 memory, even though the specs from HP, and even Intel state the max is 8 GB.
There are several folks on this forum that have installed 16 GB of memory in notebooks with first generation core series quad processors.

Windows 7 Home Premium allows up to 16 GB of memory so that wouldn't be the problem.

Satellite 5200 - Video memory corruption

One month ago I encountered a problem with a slightly garbled screen
on the internal and external displays. More or less visible vertical
strips appear on the screen. They are mainly blue on dark background
(best visible) or yellow on white background (less visible) and have
approximately the same thickness of order 1-2 mm and length of order
1 cm. The locations of the strips depend on the positions of details
of the actual picture currently displayed on the screen.
The boot screen is also garbled but now by red vertical strips located on the left and on the right of the red logo "In Touch with Tomorrow Toshiba"
In the full screen text mode, odd characters appear in positions which correlate with positions of true characters.
The BurnIn Test V4.0 Pro indicated a video memory corruption (the adapter is NVIDIA GeForce4 460 Go, 64 MB, integrated RAMDAC). That is very interesting, yesterday
there was a short period of about 5 minutes when all the described above symptoms suddenly disappeared.
Even the BurnIn Test showed that everything is OK. But after this period, the symptoms recovered again. For this
reason I would like to ask how to solve the problem.
Is this indeed a bad video memory which can recover and then become bad again or other reasons, such as a bad connectivity, etc.?
Thanks.

hi, i had the same problem on a Satellite m70-159. With one diference- mine would start only in safe mode. But the same vertical strips, even in the ''in touch with tomorow'' screen. this was the good news. the bad news is that they had to replace both the motherboard and the video module.
sorry.. and it's not like anything had happened to my notebook..

Is there a solution to Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities in Illustrator CS4? (APSB12-10)

My system is beeing flagged for having the Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities referenced in APSB12-10. The solution included in that bulletin does not apply to CS4, so I'm wondering if there is another patch or fix or something for earlier versions of the product.
Thanks!

Just because there is a potential issue does not mean anyone is actively exploiting it. If I wanted to hurt someone and infect their computer I certainly would find a million times more efficient ways than creating a malicious TIFF file that in the end only 3 people may download at all on the odd chance that they may actually run a version of AI or PS that is succeptible to these attacks. See the point? You are worrying about something that is effectively a non-issue and I'm sure you have web browsers, chat clients, media players etc. and their extensions/ plug-ins on your system that pose a significantly higher risk such as leaky/ malicious Flash games. Again, unless you are the type who "finds" his content and software on illegal sites, there is nothing going on here. the biggest security threat still is human carelessness, anyway.

What does "$C" show for stack?
Typically, this is a little different from console output.

Boot camp crashes windows and corrupts personal data

When I try to use bootcamp to restart in OSX it normally crashes Windows and corrupts all the application settings - very annoying. Is there any other way to get it to restart in OSX without the data loss?

In another thread I created that is similar to this thread in that I wanted to find out how I can reclaim my missing 32GB after the first crash (the answer is run Disk Utilities from the Leopard instal DVD), a gentleman suggested that I do not have 32GB of contiguous space on the drive - the physical space on the drive by sector.
This makes total sense. Now I just have to figure out how to do an image of my system drive, reformat the drive, and restore that image to the drive. This makes me a bit nervous and I am not entirely sure on the step-by-step procedure as to how this is done.
Perhaps someone can offer a step-by-step guide?

Note I copied the project and media to a much older MAC with only 12Gb RAM and 8 Cores and it plays great.
Can not get the new faster system to work??
