GCC has an option to prevent "buffer overflow protection" you can use it with compiler option :

-fstack-protector / -fno-stack-protector

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.
