Don't know, just detected it. I think this is a new issue introduced 
with 4.2.x by reworking the "new allocator api" but it is just a guess 
what I saw so far. I was not involved in development.

Can you read something from the fedora bug report?

There were already some fixes in 4.2.4 but I guess there are still 
unknown bugs introduced with 4.2.x.

The already fixed ones merged in 4.2.4:

Thank you.
