This is not a free memory problem.
The error
free(): invalid pointer: 0xf7758250
represents the code calling the free() command to free previously allocated
memory and the pointer stored in a memory variable points to memory that
doesn't not exist, has already been freed or was not allocated by your
application.
Basically a bug with many potential causes.
Since it appears to be Oracle apps, unless this is custom code I would open a
support case with Oracle.
If it is a custom app then troubleshooting will be a little harder but not
impossible.

wondering why it is failing when there is free RAM available.
Thanks your your time.
