Well, malloc can be whacked by user code fouling the heap too.   I'd 
venture that is the most common occurance of malloc-caused coredumps.

'info libc' for malloc debugging options;  getting them active in just 
the right process might be fun to figure out.  May give up some ideas 
for what's happening though.
