Correction: the actual error message is:
*** glibc detected *** emacs: corrupted double-linked list: 0x0852c080 ***

Anyway: I just tried to get back some days in cvs to find the exact
change responsible for this problem but now the older source tree
shows the same problem here -- that is very strange for I have
bootstraped emacs without problems on Mai 14 and I haven't changed any
related part of the system since than[0].

At the moment I have absolute no idea what's happening here...  Any
hints (or confirmation of the problem) would be highly appreciated.
