The default for PcdMaximumLinkedListLength is a large value. Did you set it to
another value in your DSC file?

Well it is C code so memory corruption is easy. Have a bad pointer, or pass the
same data into multiple calls. If you are casting to (LIST_ENTRY *) that may be
a bug too.
LIST_ENTRY ListData;
LIST_ENTRY *ListHead = &ListData;
LIST_ENTRY *ListEntry = &ListData;
InitializeListHead (ListHead);
for (i=0; i<2; i++) {
InsertHeadList (ListHead, ListEntry);
}
