    memh= (MemHead *)calloc(len+sizeof(MemHead)+sizeof(MemTail),1);
len=368, both sizeofs are probably OK. memh is a valid private pointer.
So this calloc call is perfectly valid.

I'd say either your glibc is b0rken or we're looking at a stack-trashing
type of problem (ie problem is elsewhere). Or ...
What optimization flags are you using ? Does removing any optimization
help ? If so it's a gcc bug.
