Yes, I did see this once on FC4 (but with Linux Fast-STREAMS, not LiS,
and with one of my test programs, not modpost), same realloc() error.  I
though it had to do with pipes and library linkage so I strapped out
pipe() in libstreams and still got the error.  After putting pipe()
back, cleaning and rebuilding the error disappeared.

I also discovered that when I ran the program from a shell script, the
error occured, but when run directly there was no error.

I think its a bash bug, but I can't figure anything out definitively.


It is a bug somewhere.  Try googling 'realloc() "invalid next size"'
and I think you'll see that the problem is widespread across a number
of projects.

Since your using RH EL4, ask RedHat if they fixed it.
