Oh, right, I forgot which process you were gdbing :)

Looks to me like memory corruption, which is just about impossible to debug if 
you don't have valgrind or a similar tool (and I don't think Solaris has any 
such free tools).

Do you happen to get any other crashes where it doesn't crash in malloc code? 
You showed previously that it was crashing with SIGBUS somewhere.
