[Bug 1535297] Re: Unity8 crashes on logout with "Error in `unity8': double free or corruption" called from libprotobuf.so.9, called from libprotobuf-lite.so.9

 

I suspect the right solution is to fix the approach taken in Mesa to
detecting Mir:

All the above modules should be loaded with RTLD_LOCAL. As far as I can
tell they are so they shouldn't interact.

However, Mir's mesa.so.X client platform module reloads itself with
RTLD_GLOBAL so that Mesa can find a Mir entry point. (Yes, this is an
ugly hack.)

That is likely what causes symbols to be resolved from the wrong
protobuf library and the problems seen here.
