Bug Description

Starting projectM is fine and it comes up with the default visualisation, menu works, etc.. But as soon as you try to change to ANY other preset, it crashes with either

    free(): double free detected in tcache 2

or

    double free or corruption (fasttop)

It seems to be related to these ones:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1663047

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1631104

Also, 2.1.0 is a bit old now.

I'm also getting this crash in eoan. Building with a patch made from the commit linked in the Debian bug report ( https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm/commit/c87f208c47252b47b117db73cc28a053d5133ffd ) makes it work.

projectM 2.1.0 was just removed from Debian due to being Qt 4 ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=953118 ).. but upstream projectM release 3.1.3 is Qt 5 ( https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm/releases ).
