Please run:

  LANGUAGE=en_US gpg --debug 32 -d test.txt.gpg

the last lines of the log might give a hint where we allocate the 27
bytes.  Given that the error is in libc I dount that it will help,
however running it is easy.

Also check that the C macro M_GUARD is not defined:  You find such
#ifdefs in util/memory.c.  Add a line

 #error ooops

inside of such a block and compile it again.  I tested the release on a
64 bit PPC box, so this won't be the problem.


Salam-Shalom,
