The only major problem I'd *expect* with zsh-mem is one of getting the alignment right. But if that were failing I'd expect the errors you see to be less random.

Maybe reading/writing part way into the header of the next (or an unallocated) block? Although I'd think writing like that would cause a crash in pretty short order ...
