Comment (by Joel Sherrill):

 Without looking at the code, this should indicate that the address passed
 to free() is not one that was malloced. Perhaps it should have been set to
 NULL in the structure earlier and just garbage is passed in when clean up
 occurs. Otherwise, there is what I would think is a bug which would have
 been tripped over in the most basic testing and use.
