Emacs CVS on OSX: malloc error when installing cedet

[Timothee BESSET <ttimo@idsoftware.com>]

Hello everyone

For several days now, the CVS version of Emacs built on OSX ( 10.3 ) 
fails to install cedet  ( http://cedet.sf.net ) with the following 
error:

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -batch --no-site-file -l 
grammar-make-script -f semantic-grammar-batch-build-packages 
semantic-grammar.wy
Loading semanticdb-file (source)...
Package `semantic-grammar-wy' is up to date.
*** malloc[12002]: error for object 0x28b2169: Pointer being 
reallocated was not allocated
Fatal error (11)make[1]: *** [metagrammar] Segmentation fault
make: *** [semantic] Error 2

I can compile and install the CVS version of Emacs and cedet on a Linux 
box with no problem. This crash is happening with both the latest 
release of cedet and the CVS version. So I believe it's really an emacs 
problem, specific to the OSX port.

Also to note that I was able to run Emacs on OSX with cedet about a 
month ago. No error at the time.

Here is the configuration of my Emacs build:

Configured for `powerpc-apple-darwin7.4.0'.

   Where should the build process find the source code?    
/Users/timo/Build/emacs
   What operating system and machine description files should Emacs use?
         `s/darwin.h' and `m/powermac.h'
   What compiler should emacs be built with?               gcc 
-I/sw/include -L/sw/lib -g -O2
   Should Emacs use the GNU version of malloc?             no
     (The GNU allocators don't work with this system configuration.)
   Should Emacs use a relocating allocator for buffers?    no
   Should Emacs use mmap(2) for buffer allocation?         no
   What window system should Emacs use?                    mac
   What toolkit should Emacs use?                          none
   Where do we find X Windows header files?                NONE
   Where do we find X Windows libraries?                   NONE
   Does Emacs use -lXaw3d?                                 no
   Does Emacs use -lXpm?                                   no
   Does Emacs use -ljpeg?                                  no
   Does Emacs use -ltiff?                                  no
   Does Emacs use -lungif?                                 no
   Does Emacs use -lpng?                                   no
   Does Emacs use X toolkit scroll bars?                   no

I hope the problem can be identified and fixed soon ..
