New description:

 I installed the id3v2 port and upon using it got an error like the
 following for each file I processed:

 id3v2(22560) malloc: ***  Deallocation of a pointer not malloced:
 0x90001c7a; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the
 middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp
 to see tools to help debug

 I was initially using the id3v2 options [aAtTyg].  I narrowed the problem
 down to the track number option "-T".  I tried the following three
 formats, all with the same result:  -T 01/11, -T "01/11", -T 01.

 I pegged the severity of this bug as minor because it still tags my files
 properly despite the error.

Comment:

 {{{
 id3v2(22560) malloc: *** Deallocation of a pointer not malloced:
 0x90001c7a; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the
 middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp
 to see tools to help debug
 }}}
 Such a message indicates a programming error which must be fixed upstream,
 though I note id3v2 hasn't been updated in some time.
