It is common for random memory trashing, especially trashing headers
of malloc'ed blocks, to appear as bugs inside malloc.  You might
consider tracking down one of the extended malloc packages which
have been posted or published in various PC magazines.  These programs
attempt to add extra checking so that trashed malloc headers will be
located as soon as possible.
