segfault when mixing l10n and efence

[br0ke math smsu edu (Erik)]

Hi, when I compiled against Efence, I get segfaults (both in and out of gdb),
but the program works fine when I don't compile against efence. I was wondering
if this is a bug with my code, or gnome/gtk+? here's what gdb says...

in main before * call init(), I have this
        bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
        textdomain (PACKAGE);
and the line in init() is
        gnome_init( "BMUD", NULL, argc, argv);

linux 2.2.13, debian 2.2 (pretty recent), gnome 1.0.54, gtk+ 1.2.6, export

I DID make sure all the memory handling (malloc, realloc, free, etc) are the g_
kind...

this didn't crop up until I added the internationalization stuff (I think it's
added, I couldn't find any strong easy documentation on this, there were tidbits
here and there, and the gnu page had quite a bit, but that's a bit much for this
idjit:)
