and as the fuzzing continues I started to get these, a bit worrying.

Is it possible this was a decrement-after-free bug?

It could also be bad RAM I suppose, I was using this machine to do some 
pretty intense DRAM RAPL validation which involved a lot of DIMM swapping 
so it is conceivable that I managed to break something.

Also lots of
