No, errors in the heap allocator usually show some kind of memory 
corruption. This can happen anywhere in the code, the one that crashes 
is just the first one to notice.
I would first try to switch to another layout method, and see if that 
helps. If it does, the bug is likely to be found in the ALM 
implementation. If not, you'll have to search for it a bit more (like 
in your app) :-)

Bye,
