*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (top): 0x08ec9a48 ***

I'm a C++ beginner programmer. I'm using C++ on Unix with the gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2).

I have the same error message with my simulation program. When this error happens then the simulation stops running with the message "Abort".

The simulation is supposed to run 50 replicates. This problem occurs randomly. Sometimes, it happened in the 32th and 37th replicates. Other time, it happened in the 3rd replicate.

So, I tried to debug the program by running the program step by step. Surprisingly, the program ran fine. No error.

Or when I tried to run the replicate that had this problem, then it ran fine, too. But not with 50 replicates in a row.

My friend told me maybe it had something to do with optimization. I even lowered the level of optimization from -O to -O0. It didn't help.

Could somebody educate me what is going on? Where should I look at?

Many thanks.
