[rrd-developers] Re: rrdtool: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08056450 ***

Although I'am pretty new to rrdtool, I'd like to share my similar experience with this error:
I have setup rrdtool identically on two different machines:
1) Sidux-64bit AMD (1GB Mem)
2) Sidux-32bit Intel (Laptop 500MB Mem)
both using RRDtool 1.2.27

The rrdtool database was setup exactly identical and fed with the same data on both machines:
let hour=60*60/5
let day=24*$hour
let month=31*$day
let year=365*$day

rrdtool create SolvisData-1year.rrd --step 360 --start 1208069362  \

When I call rrdtool graph from exactly the same script, system 1 produces nice graphics as expected, but when do the same on system 2,
I get always the above error, except with pointer location 0x08051a50. And same, no graphics generatde. 
A call to rrdtool lastdate, info etc. runs flawlessly.

I'd like to contribute to investigate this further, because the smaller system was intended to take the job and run 24/24, which unfortunately does not run.
