Re: memory errors in 3.8.2

[Ron Economos]

A few notes:

1) The automatic update may be bad. The GNU Radio PPA has other procedural problems and this may be another.

2) Your OOT may be over-writing some Python code. I've seen this before. The different error behavior depends on exactly where your code got loaded in memory.

3) Believe it or not, the module destructor never gets called in GNU Radio.

My Ubuntu 20.04 updated automatically to 3.8.2. 

SInce the update I have been getting memory error messages in the gnuradio-companion terminal window.

These errors did not occur in 3.8.1.  The error is not consistent, always get one of the following three error messages:

double free or corruption (!prev)

malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size
Aborted (core dumped)

corrupted size vs. prev_size while consolidating

Have commented out all instances of delete [] in my destructors, but no change to the errors. No instances of free() in my code.

The errors occur after stopping the flowgraph from gnuradio-companion.

I was able to catch the "corrupted size vs. prev_size while consolidating"   error using gdb  (OOT built with -DCMAKE_BUYILD_TYPE=Debug).
