------- Additional Comments From axel dot philipp at mtu dot de  2008-10-10 09:42 -------
My original observation was a severe memory leak, which is easily reproducible, 
and 2 instances of deviating results. The memory leak disappeared when I 
switched to ptmalloc3 (vs. ptmalloc2, which is in glibc), and I could not 
reproduce the deviating results.

However I can no longer reproduce deviating results when using standard 
malloc/free, the memory leak is still present. I do no longer consider the 
severity "critical" I see it as "normal"
