Free to wrong pool

sureshr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
I am seeing the following error.
"Free to wrong pool 15d2850 not 1afbea0 at my.pl line 1855". Has somebody already seen this error and know the solution for this? I am using perl5.8 with threads.
Thanks,
-sureshr

Can you post some of your code? That would make it much easier to help you. Having said that, a quick googling turned up this: http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.beginners/43672 Are you sure the modules you are using are thread-safe? - Matt Riffle	[reply]

Yes, it is thread-safe and I saw the google reply too. The goole one is of less help :(	[reply]

This basically means that you triggered one of those bugs related to memory allocation/deallocation in Perl 5.8. I have a post on this.	[reply]

Yes, it is quite similar to your post. I form hashes and arrays in one function and pass them across to other function and free them there. Are you aware of any fixes or workaround for this? Thanks, -sureshr	[reply]
