Comment:

 There isn't enough information here to figure this one out.  Is there any
 chance of a stack trace?  Does this happen repeatedly?  Otherwise, it's
 not clear to me how this can happen.

 I wonder if we could do anything about this, if it's a memory corruption
 thing.  Maybe we can make a configure option to use malloc instead of
 memory pools, and run under valgrind?    Maybe we can have an option
 canaries at the start and end of chunks?
