Isn't an invalid free() an error in the following sense that:

       "Address 0x42ae188 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd"

-- 
Article. VI. Clause 3 of the constitution of the United States states: 

"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of 
the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, 
both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by 
Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test 
shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust 
under the United States."
