I initially installed leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20060711a, which gave me the
above error.
Five minutes ago I installed leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20060706a.tar.bz2,
which gave exactly the same error.
I downloaded them from
http://www.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/~ma/leafnode/beta/
Is this the correct page?

According to what I found on Google, the error comes from the program in
question, so that would be fetchnews:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-316912-highlight-***+glibc+detected
+***+free+invalid+pointer+0x1003e590+***.html
The rest of that page is too distro-specific to be any help.

Any ideas are still appreciated.
