Find out why the malloc is complaining.  It could be that something
got mmap'ed relatively close to the break value.  If so, attempting a
(small) malloc might cause the break value to cross into the mmaped
area, which would cause it to fail.

To track this down, I'd recommend to look at:

	- /proc/PID/maps (where PID is the process ids of the "interesting"
	  tasks)
	- the output of free

Hope this helps,
