+# corrupted double-linked list
+
+* tags: bug
+
+Once the tissue web server has run long enough, it crashes with one of the following error messages. This could be a memory allocation bug in guile-xapian. This crash is observed both in the production and development web servers.
+
+```
+malloc(): unsorted double linked list corrupted
+Aborted
+```
+
+```
+corrupted double-linked list
+Aborted
+```
+
+## Steps to reproduce
+
+The easiest way to reproduce this is to run either the production or development web server and stress test it with siege.
+=> https://www.joedog.org/siege-home/

+If the web server is listening on port 8080, run siege as follows. The web server usually crashes in less than a minute.
+```
