    yep - backing it out solved the problem!

I may have seen where the problem is.  One consequence of using malloc
to get space to read the file is that the malloc tables which get
saved will mark that space as allocated.  But the range of memory that
is being saved won't include that space.  This is inconsistent, and it
might be the cause of this crash.

What happens if you use alloca instead of malloc to allocate that
space?
