Comment 1 for bug 551328

I was able to catch the Volano chat (see spunkyworld chat demo) running at 100% with gdb. It seems to show one thread is corrupted in some way. Using 'top' with option 'H' (show threads) I got the LWP process ID of the thread. In gdb I checked that with "info threads" then switched to the thread "thread 11" and tried to get a backtrace.

The address of the thread (0xb48c6e7a) looks wrong compared to all other threads but I'm not sure what to make of it.
