I have solved my problem - it concluded in Ogre (Object-oriented
graphic rendering engine) which I'm using now. Ogre has built-in
memory manager, and he using his own allocator (so it is like a
situation you described). Memory was allocated by Ogre's MM, but was
deallocated by standart deallocator (why? I don't know :).
I have turned off Ogre's MM and now anything works fine.
