have been unable to figure out the problem, but I can replicate your
results here.  The previous commit works, while this one fails.

I did try running under valgrind and with MALLOC_CHECK_ set to 3, but
didn't get anything useful (to my eyes, anyway).  Interestingly, I did
seem to get slightly different behavior when running under valgrind
with the memorytest, but nothing that really points a finger at what
might be wrong.  It's possible there's some timing related problem,
but I suspect what's happening is valgrind is changing the system
behavior with respect to the task that crashes.

Mostly I just wanted to report that I can replicate John's results on
Debian, even though I haven't made any other progress.
