Yeah, I was just hoping there would be some obvious telltale W^X sign or
something. The problem with the code is that if you don't have a copy
of Ultima Online it won't work. So, I started to write a simple test
app to show the problem, and that's when I noticed it "working" on
freebsd actually looks like this:

test in free(): warning: chunk is already free
test in free(): warning: chunk is already free
test in free(): warning: chunk is already free
test in free(): warning: chunk is already free
test in free(): warning: chunk is already free
test in free(): warning: chunk is already free
test in free(): warning: chunk is already free
test in free(): warning: chunk is already free
test in free(): warning: page is already free
test in free(): warning: page is already free
test in free(): warning: chunk is already free
test in free(): warning: chunk is already free
test in free(): warning: chunk is already free

But the real app is a daemon so I never saw that before.
Sorry for the noise.

Adam
