I found the memory trashing that was causing my innocent pfMalloc() call
to die. Yep, I was over-running an array, pfMalloc'ed earlier. I found it
by simplifying as much as possible, and then tracking the sequence of
alloc's and free's. It began to die on a free(x) (ok, i mean pfDelete).
So I thoroughly looked at all references to the var that was pfMalloc'ed
before 'x', and viola! An off-by-one bug in a for-loop termination test.
Now... where was I up to before this happened??! ;-)
thanks to the few who provided assistance.

PS: I am running cvd (CaseVision Workshop) as root now, and getting along ok...
