Comment (by pulkomandy):

 I don't think so. Crashes in malloc in both cases, while creating a
 BString.
 Obviously, malloc shouldn't crash, it should either return some memory or
 NULL.

 This points to the heap being corrupted.

 Now, we have to find the cause of the memory corruption, which may be
 completely unrelated to what we see in the backtrace. The best way to do
 this is to reproduce the crash while using libroot_debug.so, so the crash
 happens earlier and we get a backtrace of the actual place where the
 corruption happens.
