Malloc/bus error when using osascript


  • Subject: Malloc/bus error when using osascript
  • From: David Jacopille <email@hidden>

I'm running it through the shell via the osascript command and get the below errors. The script runs fine as an application (although it would take 50 minutes to do what osascript can push the script to do in 10 minutes) and runs fine in Script Debugger also.

I get six of the following lines:

*** malloc[472]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0xffffffff; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug

Then I get this error before the shell returns the prompt:

Bus error

Tried a few computer restarts and recompiling the application to a new name with slightly different code with no change in symptoms. Beyond that - no clue. Any ideas? Help!
