Update: I haven't run a memory checker, but what I did do is test binaries
compiled on the working OSX machine and they worked fine. So it's a compiler
problem most likely.
Working hypothesis: this is some flavor of the XCode 4.2 compiler problem I've
seen mentioned in a few other emails to this list, and some obscure difference
between the two machines makes it pop up on one and not the other.
I've got a reasonable workaround and am on a deadline so I'm unlikely to
investigate this further :).
Mike.
