    So... lots of things are crashing since updating to 5.3, and a google
    search revealed something about malloc() debugging options.

    UPDATING mentions no such thing. :(
    The 5.3 release notes mention it, however.

    Crashing apps:

    fluxbox: recompiled boxtools and fluxbox. Worked.

    gaim: tried to recompile. got an ld error... when it was trying to link
    to something to do with gtkspell. Tried to update those libs.. got
    error. Updating all gnome libs now.

    er, s/updating/recompiling in most cases, since I was already at the
    current version.

    Is everyone else seeing lots of X apps crash? google said people were
    having trouble with firefox, but that was OK for me.

    -Charlie
