[lxc-users] corrupted double-linked list

[Pierce Ng]

Hi all,

I'm getting this error repeatedly during lxd init at the point of setting up
networking, after saying 'NAT outgoing traffic' and skipping IPv6.

  *** Error in `/usr/bin/perl': corrupted double-linked list: 0x0000000001e92f60 ***

Host is a VPS with 1.2GB RAM running Ubuntu 16.04. Tested both looped btrfs and
plain old ext4 for /var/lib/lxd, in the latter case just being part of /. The
host is a pristine setup. I've reinstalled the host's OS twice. 

Before doing this on the VPS, I tested on a new Vbox Ubuntu 16.04 instance on
my laptop with looped btrfs: LXD appears to work fine and I have launched
containers successfully.

Could this be a problem with the underlying host of my VPS?

Cheers.
