pgadmin3 segfaults on startup. Looks like a malloc issue? - Mailing list pgadmin-support

I am going to try again.  I built/installed the gtk2 version of 
wxWidgets, with --enable-debug.  made all the wx demos, and tested them 
out.  Then I built pgdmin3 with --enable-debug.  Running 
/usr/local/pgadmin3/bin/pgadmin3 results in a segfault. 

I loaded pgadmin3 into gdb.  Here is some output.  I am not really 
familiar with gdb escpecially on the command line (we use dbx at work), 
so this may not show a lot.   Let me know if there are some other 
commands you would like me to try.

Any help would be super.  If you need anymore info just let me know.
