[Discuss-gnuradio] Newly built UHD failed in tests

[Michael Chen]

Hi,

I am trying to build and install UHD/GnuRadio from source on Ubuntu,
here is the setup:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bits, fresh install, updated to newest packages,
running within VMware
Got UHD from git.
gcc 4.6.3
glibc

The UHD is built according to
http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki/UHD_Build

When I am doing "make test":

address@hidden:~/sdr/uhd/uhd/host/build$ make test
Running tests...
Test project /home/michael/sdr/uhd/uhd/host/build
      Start  1: addr_test
 1/15 Test  #1: addr_test ........................   Passed    0.01 sec
      Start  2: buffer_test
 2/15 Test  #2: buffer_test ......................   Passed    0.03 sec
      Start  3: byteswap_test
 3/15 Test  #3: byteswap_test ....................   Passed    0.01 sec
      Start  4: convert_test
*** glibc detected *** convert_test: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x000000000073

The build works on Ubuntu 13.10, 64 bits without any issue. A bug?
