Based on several man pages, free is capable of handling a NULL argument. What is really puzzling is that on your system it doesn't ...

I tried on two system a 64 bits Debian and on my MAC OS X with all memory allocator options on, and I'm unable to get such a warning :(

r20569 fixes the problem, but I'm not 100% sure it's the Right Way.

Short version: now that we're guaranteeing to free the event base, we're exercising a code path that was never used before. Apparently the orted initializes the ev->timebase min_heap_t structure, but then never uses it. So the pointer to the array of events in the heap is still NULL when we get to the destructor. Previously, the destructor just unconditionally freed the array. I put in a NULL check, which avoids the problem.

But it begs the question -- why is that data structure being initialized/freed if we're never using it? Is it something inherent in libevent?
