Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@critter.freebsd.dk> showed me how to find this
kind of problem.

	setenv MALLOC_OPTIONS UJA
	ktrace -t u ./your-program

It was my problem.  The initial structure was somewhat small.  In all
the transactions, a few dozen bytes were calloc'ed for a small table.
After receiving his message, the problem was easy to find.  In pouring
over the entire structure, the remainder was calloc'ed for a future
table and never used, thus not corrupted.

Thanks for your help,
tomdean
