Summary: malloc assertion fails when vdeterm is run

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I'm using the pdump plugin on vde_switch and use wireshark via cat and ssh to 
monitor the traffic of the switch remotely. After setting up this monitoring 
configuration, running "vdeterm /path/to/mgmt_socket" gives the following error:

---
VDE switch V.2.2.3
(C) Virtual Square Team (coord. R. Davoli) 2005,2006,2007 - GPLv2

vdeterm: malloc.c:3096: sYSMALLOc: Assertion `(old_top == (((mbinptr) (((char 
*) &((av)->bins[((1) - 1) * 2])) - __builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk, 
fd)))) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= (unsigned 
long)((((__builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk, fd_nextsize))+((2 * 
(sizeof(size_t))) - 1)) & ~((2 * (sizeof(size_t))) - 1))) && ((old_top)->size & 
0x1) && ((unsigned long)old_end & pagemask) == 0)' failed.
Aborted

Running the same command under valgrind gives:

---

Apparently there's a pointer/memory allocation related problem. I haven't yet 
looked into the code much to pinpoint the bug, but I hope this can be fixed.

Cheers

Message:
It seems to be the problem already solved in the SVN commit #441. Please
update the code to the latest svn and tell me if the problem is still
there.
