Hello,

I'm writing an mp3 file renamer that uses the id3lib. Somewhere in the id3lib code my app crashes with SIGABRT when trying to return from a function* showing "__stack_chk_fail" in the debugger's stack trace pane. This happens when I use GCC 4.2 as compiler. When I use LLVM GCC 4.2 my application runs just fine. Neither clang nor GuardMalloc show any problems at compile- or runtime.
I'm using Xcode 3.2.5 on Mac OS 10.6.6.
Does someone have an idea what could be the problem here?

Thanks and regards,
Sebastian Mecklenburg

This is a stack corruption error. You're probably writing past the end of a stack buffer and corrupt your stack. 
I'm not sure llvm-gcc 4.2 properly supports this feature (that would explain why it run fine when using llvm-gcc), or it may simply order variables on the stack in a way that prevent the overflow detection.
Anyway, you should check your function to find why the stack is corrupted when it returns.
