Debug memory block at address p=0x449e6900: API 'o' 80 bytes originally requested The 7 pad bytes at p-7 are not all FORBIDDENBYTE (0xfb): at p-7: 0xfb at p-6: 0xfb at p-5: 0xfa *** OUCH at p-4: 0xfb at p-3: 0xfb at p-2: 0xfb at p-1: 0xfb Because memory is corrupted at the start, the count of bytes requested may be bogus, and checking the trailing pad bytes may segfault. The 8 pad bytes at tail=0x449e6950 are FORBIDDENBYTE, as expected. The block was made by call #8155854715 to debug malloc/realloc.
