0065E938 61093A1F (6112B460, 7974742F, 61120031, 6974616D)
malloc.cc:3952
nextchunk = chunk_at_offset(p, size);
nextsize = chunksize(nextchunk);
yeesh. nasty heap corruption leading to bad nextchunk pointer and an
exception when it is dereferenced in the attempt to find nextsize.
happening in a realloc call. ugly. it's going to be hard to track down;
whatever is causing the corruption may be taking place an arbitrary amount
of time prior to when the exception happens, and not necessarily in the same
thread either.
cheers,
