When Emacs is configured with --enable-checking=xmallocoverrun on Mac OS X,
Emacs crashes during the build process. The error is as follows.
temacs(20348,0x7fff70e01ca0) malloc: *** error for object 0x10076c010:
Non-aligned pointer being freed (2)
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
/bin/sh: line 1: 20348 Abort trap `/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch
--load loadup bootstrap
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 1
Note that I set attempted to debug the problem with gdb. I set a breakpoint
in malloc_error_break as directed by the error message. The resulting
backtrace is as follows.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure Emacs using the following command on Mac OS X.
./configure --enable-checking=xmallocoverrun --with-ns CFLAGS='-g3 -O0'
2. Build Emacs using the following command.
make install
3. Emacs crashes when " `/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap"
is called.

Thanks. Can you try bisecting to find the commit which introduced
this problem?

Hello,
I have made an attempt to track down the cause of this bug.
After
bzr revert -r 103045
Emacs builds when I configure it with
./configure --enable-checking=xmallocoverrun --with-ns CFLAGS='-g3 -O0'
After
bzr revert -r 103046
the error "temacs(74585,0x7fff70e01ca0) malloc: *** error for object
0x100768010: Non-aligned pointer being freed (2)" occurs during the call to
"`/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap."
