I'm running into a really bizarre error that seems to have started spontaneously (no changes I can think of were made to my system in the last few days and mpl was plotting without problems up until a few hours ago). When using WxAgg, the following code raises a malloc error.
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> plt.plot([0, 1])
>>> plt.show()
Python(477,0xa0710720) malloc: *** error for object 0x220068: Non-aligned pointer being freed
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
This error only occurs on the Wx/WxAgg backends AND when show() is called; Qt4Agg, TkAgg, and MacOSX backends work fine.
This error is also generated when starting ipython with the pylab flag (and WxAgg set as the default backend).
Sorry I can't give more information about the error itself; I'm not sure how to in this case.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Correction, this error occurs on all GUI backends I've tried (I don't have gtk installed). The malloc error didn't occur on the other backends until I tried to interact with the plot window.
