the program has scribbled outside the memory it was allocated
for something on the heap.  plan 9's allocator does some checks
that the others might not do, but in any case, allocator
internals differ enough that a slight overrun
might be noticed by one but not another (eg, because
of extra space allocated for alignment)

see malloc(2) and pool(2) for debugging suggestions
such as increasing the checks that are made to allow
it to be caught nearer the actual error.
