Two people have tried and failed to reproduce this problem on an up-to-date
sid system.  There is not enough information in this bug report to fix it
without being able to reproduce it.  If you have a valgrind report for this
program, you may want to post it to the bug report.

Likewise, a full backtrace may be a bit more helpful than just citing the
innermost stack frame, which only tells us "something happened somewhere
which abused the memory management interface".
