That's probably the problem then (it's caused by a mismatch between what how
the uClinux kernel implements munmap and how malloc thought it did).

This problem has been fixed in the CVS version of uClibc (I'm not sure if
there are any release versions that correspond to this), so I'd recommend
that you try to upgrade to that.  It would be enough to upgrade the
`libc/stdlib/malloc' directory and the top-level Makefile though.

[then of course you have to make sure all your apps get relinked, if you're
using static libraries]

Let me know if I can help with this.
