I agree.  Infact it is 2.6.6 that is broken (sorry for the confusion). 
This version attempts to extend the block forwards or backwards in 
preference to allocating a completely new block.  If the increase in 
size is less then a factor of two then the resulting copy will overlap.

dlmalloc.cxx in the anon CVS seems to be based on 2.6.6.
