Crash with jemalloc 2.2.1

[Felipe Wilhelms Damasio - Taghos]

Hi all,

I'm using jemalloc to build a webcache system.

I'm doing around 600-700 calloc/free per second. (a calloc-per-new-session).

It's a linux machine with kernel 2.6.34 and glibc 2.11.2.

jemalloc was compiled with:

    ./configure  --enable-prof --enable-dss --enable-fill --enable-stats 
--enable-xmalloc --enable-swap

I have no malloc options file.

At some point, my program crashed. I generated a core dump and a gdb bt
showed this:

#0  arena_avail_comp (arena=0x1000a80, size=36864, large=true, zero=true) at
src/arena.c:222
222        size_t b_size = b->bits & ~PAGE_MASK;
(gdb) bt

#7  0x000000000041563e in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fff357085c8) at server.c:2261

Is this indication of a bug in jemalloc or in my program?

What other info can I provide to help track this down?

Thanks,
