Comment:

 Did this ever happen again?  Odds seem decent that it's a case of some
 other heap-corruption bug--possibly one that either got fixed, or
 diagnosed more usefully.

 As things stand, there's not a very good chance that we'll be able to
 figure this one out from the information available.  The best time to
 detect heap-corruption is (unfortunately) when it happens, not when
 there's a crash.  If this crash *does* recur, our best bet is to see if we
 can get you running with dmalloc or valgrind or some other runtime
 debugging tool.
