smalloc is probably a sub-function of malloc().  You have
probably corrupted your heap.  This sort of problem is
notoriously difficult to troubleshoot as the crash is
usually nowhere near the event that causes the 
corruption.  You need to use a heap checker like 
Rational's Purify, or Electric Fence.
