    The idea was that maybe some library function we are now calling, and
    that calls malloc internally, causes the corruption of the memory
    allocation in the dumped Emacs.  I don't know how to spot such a
    function except by the method I suggested.

The problem is how to find a candidate for the problem out of
thousands of backtraces of malloc calls.  I don't
see how I could even try.
