Segfaults in multiple programmes

[cag]

Hi everyone,

I finally registered, have been reading the forum for years.

I'll simply copy this from LQ. Already have written to a couple of lists (including netbsd-users) but without results.

Running 7.0.2 with out of the box kernel. All my GTK+2 apps segfault on keyboard input. lxappearance for example, when looking for a theme you can start pressing keys and it will search. But in my case it dumps core with /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1, /usr/lib/libc.so.12 and /usr/pkg/lib/libXcursor.so.1. The same thing happens when typing something into a GTK+2 text editor, leafpad, or looking for something in Ctrl+O window in firefox or gimp or any other programme. gimp can't even run inside gdb because of:

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

Firefox also has problems in libc.so.12 and libpthread.so.1 but doesn't say about __lwp_park60. It also can't run inside gdb.

lxappearance also dumps core when clicking Apply after changing something (themes, cursor or icon themes, fonts etc.) with another output:

#0  0x00007f7fefcb27ba in ?? () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12
#1  0x00007f7fefcb2bc7 in malloc () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12

Apart from these programmes I receive SIGILL in mplayer when trying to play videos. Backtrace doesn't tell anything useful.

sxiv, an image viewer, segfaults with this:

#0  0x00007f7ff64b209f in ?? () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12
#1  0x00007f7ff64b3983 in free () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12
#2  0x000000000040729c in remove_file ()
#3  0x0000000000409a92 in main ()

Previously, if built from local pkgsrc tree it worked but now stopped working at all at all.

mpg321 dumps core and says "Memory fault" with this backtrace:

#0  0x00007f7ff78068b1 in sem_post () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1
#1  0x000000000040afe0 in ?? ()

#6  0x00007f7ffffffdb7 in ?? ()
#7  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

I did memtests, once for four hours (two passes) and once for eight hours (eight passes). I did Dell's ePSA tests (diagnostic utility accessed from BIOS), it has own memtest, apart from monitoring the hard drive, the power supply, the keyboard, the fans, the CPU; all of them returned no errors. I rebuilt gtk2 with debug symbols but it changed nothing. On LQ it was suggested that I have hardware problems, but I am not convinced. Every programme described above worked inside Ubuntu LiveUSB
and Void Linux LiveUSB on the same machine (picked because they have different libc's). Before I had NetBSD with X11 a couple of months ago (and earlier) and I didn't have these errors. In the Interwebs
I found similar messages on Arch forum and Launchpad. Is there a need for a 24 hour memtest? Should I just remove each of the two memory modules and try? Is it hardware related after all?

Thanks everyone for any kind of help.
