   I ran into this today.  The root cause is a use-after-free bug in   
   binkd; this bug has been present since sometime in 2001 according   
   to the git history.  Most people probably won't notice it unless   
   your system's malloc() is aggressive about poisoning memory returned   
   by free().   
      
   I've sent a pull request to fix it upstream.
