malloc(3c) core dumps

[Steinar Overbeck Cook]

We have an application which uses dynamic SQL against an Oracle
database. After extracting approx 480 records, the application core
dumps because of SIGSEGV (Segment violation).

The stack trace in sdb comes out thus:

	malloc: address 0x18a54
	*malloc(1032,199,147564)
	_findbuf(147564,147564,14679000)
	_filbuf(147564,0,102)
	fgets(14679000,200,147564)
	upiref(157555,1403,1403)   [upiexn.c]
	upigem(157280,157544,157280)
	sqlgem(1403,1403,14679284)
	sqlret(0,14679332,3818)
	sqlfch(151460,151464,171892)
	FETCHKol()   [DYNSEL.c:852]
	main(argc=4,argv=0xdffd58,14679404)   [DYNSEL.c:595]
	*

Does anybody have a clue as to what is wrong ? My theory is that Oracle
overwrites the internal tables of malloc(3c).
