Sounds like a memory overwrite. malloc() on linux machines stores
info about the block right before and right after the block itself.
Overwriting this info can cause very odd things to happen, most
usually crashes during a malloc or a free on what seems to be a valid
pointer.
So... sounds like you've got an overwrite somewhere.
