FreeBSD has a lot more malloc(3) debugging than glibc -- and significantly 
more so enabled by default.  Lots of badly-written applications will crash 
(detecting a malloc(3) error, giving you the cahnce to fix it) if, for 
example, the "J" option is set.  Look at the man page to learn how to turn 
them on and off; "A" and "J" are on by default for non-RELEASE versions of 
-CURRENT.
