    Are you on a VPS or shared hosting? had the same problem with my VPS before but after a few apache conf tweak it went away. honestly i dont know what i did to fix it. but I'm sure 95% its not related to vanilla script.

    Oh boy... I've googled a bit and here is a piece of text I found:

    http://bytes.com/topic/c/answers/693972-stack-smashing-detected-how-identify-corresponding-line-code

    This sort of error is usually the result of writing to the location pointed to by an uninitialised pointer or writting off the end of an array (buffer overrun).

    It is also one of the hardest types of bug to find.

    I have the distinct feeling you either found a memory problem on the server (buffer overrun) or a php bug...

    Maybe Real C programmers can help you more with this.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    I cant provide any help here (not a real programmer)

    But i can suggest a couple things to aid in debugging...

    First what version of software are you running?
    Is this a clean vanilla install or have you installed anything on top? (Plugins, themes, Applications, etc.)
    was it working before?
    what is your server environment?

    Anything else you can think of thats pertinent?

    What version of vanilla?

    What steps do you follow to recreate the error?

    Was this a clean install or did you import data / users from another install / software...
