Most of the times, when malloc segfaults, it means that someone has written
things in its internal data structures: a small buffer overflow or underflow
will fall in the few bytes that malloc reserves from the system and keeps
for himself to keep track of the allocated and unallocated blocks.

Try running the process you want to debug with Electric Fence or Valgrind.
