I’m trying to get Radiant intalled on my Site5 account. During the  
initial ‘rake production db:bootstrap’ task I kept getting this error  
message:

\*\*\* glibc detected \*\*\* double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x08233108

* * *

Aborted (core dumped)

I ended up using phpMyAdmin to setup the database, but the app  
wouldn’t start. For testing, I tried a ‘ruby script/server’ and got  
the same error message.

I submitted a ticket to Site5 and their response was, “Having  
performed a search online this error is most commonly experienced as a  
result of the way in which the task or application interfaces with  
MySQL itself. I would advise consulting with the application vendor  
for further assistance if required.”

Does anyone know what this glibc error means?
