Thomas) This little mlisp program makes our emacs die every time with an assert failure in free. We're using the Caltech malloc (which comes with 4.2, but the distributed version is really buggy in the RCHECK code - we've got fixes), it may not cause other mallocs to die immediately, but it DOES cause a duplicate free.
