It sounds to me like there's some sort of memory corruption, possibly
a block is being twice freed, or a non-block is being freed.  Either
way, I can't really tell what's going on w/o more information, such as
a self-contained example demonstrating this problem.

In the mean-time, using the stack trace, figure out which call in your
code leads to the exception and comment it out.  Then, see if the
exception shows up elsewhere.
