Don,

When you see "malloc: block on free list clobbered", it means there has
been a major crash.

I'm suspecting that the problem is on the Red Hat 7.1 server and there are
some major problems with the software there (either the system is really
messed up or it has been hacked).

Thats just my guess, never ran into that particular problem before.
