I'm using macports 1.6, Xcode 3, OS X 10.5.2, on a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz  
core 2 duo, 2GB RAM.

And as I write this I realize that my HD is also 100% full and that's  
probably the cause of this. Sorry for the noise. That is a pretty ugly  
error though, so it scared me. The malloc error made me think  
something was wrong with my RAM.
