O.K. (Thank god newer libc are more picky about such memory inconsistencies ; )
At first which version of rrdtool do you use ?
Maybe you should upgrade to a more recent version?

Or - as a workaround - set the environment variable MALLOC_CHECK_ to 0
But I recommed a - possible - upgrade of the rrdtool. I bet this issue
has been fixed ;)

If it gives no error it should be created correct.

Well if the creation works without error _AND_ you can fill the database
with - sane - values. Well I think the database is fine.

HTH,
