Title:
  gdm-session-worker crashed with SIGSEGV in malloc_consolidate()

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On an otherwise clean and up-to-date precise installation, the
  conditions to reproduce this gdm crash seem to be:

  * libnss-ldapd is installed and configured for at least passwd lookups in nsswitch.
  * the LDAP user being tested is not in the gdm user list.

  After filling in credentials and pressing Login, gdm-session-worker
  crashes and the login screen hangs waiting for it.

  For a user who is already shown in the list, whether because of being
  present in /etc/passwd or the wtmp history, logging in seems to work
  normally.

  I don't know whether this bug is in gdm, nss-pam-ldapd,
  accountsservice, or somewhere else, but gdm seems like a reasonable
  place to start.
