[Bug 1401488] Re: [regression] Mir servers (since 0.9) randomly crash in malloc due to heap corruption

 

The regression came from this, so the bug just slipped into the 0.9.0
release too:

------------------------------------------------------------
revno: 2072 [merge]
tags: br0.9, v0.9.0
author: Alexandros Frantzis <alexandros.frantzis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
committer: Tarmac
branch nick: development-branch
timestamp: Wed 2014-11-19 02:07:20 +0000
message:
  server: Use the GLibMainLoop implementation by default

  This MP also adds an option of using the AsioMainLoop implementation
(--use-asio-main-loop or MIR_SERVER_USE_ASIO_MAIN_LOOP) for easier
comparative testing. Fixes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1392256.
