I've had problems with malloc and free before on Solaris 7 with programs 
I write for school.  At home I run Darwin and when programs end if I 
haven't free'd something that I malloc'd, when the memory my program has 
been using is returned to the system nothing bad happens.  Solaris 
bitches, though, and segfaults.  The program runs fine all the way 
through to returning from main(), and when it does that there's a 
segfault.

This may not be what's happening in this case, but that's something that 
I've experienced so you may want to check for it.
