Corinna,
Something seriously funny was going on in the C++/C runtime interaction.
Rather than try and explain it, I've linked in a recent version of Doug
Lea's malloc, which also had a couple of quirks, that I've (apparently)
fixed.
If you could see if the problematic site still affects you that would be
great. (It doesn't affect me anymore).
I did find some oddities, but fixing them didn't resolve the issue,
which is why the new malloc...
Even once a malloc strace showed no double-frees, not delete of new[] or
malloc'd data etc etc, it would still have that HEAP error. *shrug*.
