Ok, I could reproduce the problem. The issue is most likely an access to
the thread memory after it has been freed which breaks the allocator
linked list of free pages by replacing a link to a next free page by a
NULL pointer. xnheap_alloc interprets this NULL pointer as the end of the
linked list and hence considers that it is out of memory.
