I've gotten this problem absolutely reproducibly without threads when
accidentally freeing a structure before freeing an element of the
structure.  e.g.:

    free (data);
    free (data->elem1);
    free (data->elem2);

The code runs happily through the 'free' commands and SEGVs on a later
(maybe next, didn't check) call to malloc.
