By default Bash malloc is used and what you're seeing is a message from it 
notifiying you that it found something wrong.  I use the native malloc which 
is a bit more forgiving. When I configured bash to use its malloc, it crashes 
on startup because of the memory overwrite. The fix is what you suggested. 
The problem should be fixed now.
