I couldn't reproduce this on freebsd, even with malloc debugging options
enabled.

Can you get a backtrace of where your allocation #345 is happening? This
should be easy by running it under gdb, setting a breakpoint on your
failed = 1; line, and then getting a backtrace when it stops on that?
(Then, of course, let it continue and verify it crashes in the expected
place)
