What logical piece of data is being freed?  The stack, etc.

I would tend to think that something is corrupting the pointer to
be freed.  For example, RTEMS returns the stack using a pointer
it stored away at init time.  If that gets corrupted all bets
are off.

Once we know what logically is being returned, we can monitor
that location in memory and binary search in on the corrupting point.
