Description Larry Roth 2010-02-28 20:34:54 PST
My sincerest of apologies, but I do not know which page I was on caused the below error. I had many tabs open when it happened, and I am not sure which one did it. Even after I closed each tab the issue continued.

My Log file grew extremely quickly repeating the following over and over:
Feb 28 23:05:40 Larrys-Computer-3 WebKitPluginHost[32802]: WebKitPluginHost(32802,0xb07ae000) malloc: *** error for object 0x39dc54: pointer being freed was not allocated\n*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Feb 28 23:05:40 Larrys-Computer-3 com.apple.WebKit.PluginAgent[30100]: WebKitPluginHost(32802,0xb07ae000) malloc: *** error for object 0x36cff4: pointer being freed was not allocated
Feb 28 23:05:40 Larrys-Computer-3 WebKitPluginHost[32802]: WebKitPluginHost(32802,0xb07ae000) malloc: *** error for object 0x36cff4: pointer being freed was not allocated\n*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Feb 28 23:05:40 Larrys-Computer-3 com.apple.WebKit.PluginAgent[30100]: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

Let me take a moment to thank you for all your hard work--Webkit is an INCREDIBLE base from which to build a browser and you guys just plain ROCK!

Those messages come from the Silverlight plug-in.  I don’t know if there’s anything WebKit can do about it.

NPAPI and Webkit Plugins are not supported any more. Can this be marked as "RESOLVED WONTFIX"? Thanks!
