If you are having problems with malloc/free, you might want to try my 
malloc debugging library that was posted to comp.sources.unix back in 
may/june.  It will go a long way to help solve malloc related problems.

BTW- I have an older version of sc (I thing from late last year) compiled
and working without any problems on our system (386/ix).  I haven't gotten
around to compiling/testing sc 6.8 yet.
