I was trying to install rake and rspec using ruby gems. I changed read permissions on /usr/bin
Now my terminal window looks like this:
login(388,0x7fff73cd5310) malloc: * error for object 0x7fdb79c05290: pointer being freed was not allocated
* set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
[Process completed]

Given that you changed the read permissions on
/usr/bin
recursively, trying to restore the proper permissions through Terminal will not work - too many items in there have unique permissions. The best plan of action to remedy this I have is as follows./usr/bin
.Takeaway from this is never change permissions recursively on a directory unless you specifically know what you're doing.
