I'm wondering whether something is writing out of bounds and corrupting the malloc headers. I have tried testing for this using ElectricFence, but at least on my machine we allocate too many small blocks with EF to make it all the way through startup. (not a bug on our part, just an annoying limitation of EF)
Can you try valgrind? In general I've had much better luck with that. (It also catches many things that EF doesn't)
