I wonder if you are having a libc problem. Recently my workstation
started having problems with a couple of apps and libc. I did track it
down to a recent update I had done, and then about a few days ago debian
released another libc update and all is fine again.

load_module is not validating that malloc was successful, or passing an
incorrect value to memset.
