Well, the other machines don't have the double-free checking in their
libc, and 1.3.5 *does* have one double-free bug that was fixed in
1.3.8.
Tracking these down is easiest from the debugger since you can set a
breakpoint and see where the double-free happened. Alternately, you
can run in valgrind on Linux, although that can be a painful
experience...
