Inconsistent results on two F9 boxes when running a trivial c++ program

[Roopnarine, Peter]

Do the boxes have identical g++ installations? Seems like you've encountered
a small bug in the library, which sometimes seem to creep in between minor
revisions.

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

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