Not that obviously.  You were reporting a crash, and messing up malloc
data structures is a common source of crashes :-)

Yep.  I think the problem has to do with the fact that some dynamic
initializers of libstdc++ are using new and delete, but you have
defined them so as to depend on cout having already been initialized,
but it depends on some the stuff that's using new and delete.  I.e.,
I'm not sure your example is valid C++.  It would be nice if we could
run it, though.
