Same here:

*** glibc detected *** python: free(): invalid next size (fast):
0x084fdbf8 ***

If you write

  ls -lrt /tmp/*.py

you'll see the Python script that is run when calling plot() from C++.

Here's what it looks like:

  from dolfin import *

  object = Function("/tmp/filepjlanT.xml")
  plot(object)

Running just this script reproduces the error one gets when running
the Poisson demo. From the trace it looks like something goes wrong in
DiscreteFunction::interpolate() when DOLFIN is compiled with PETSc.

I looked at it briefly but couldn't figure it out.

Same here.
