Have you compiled with ASAN? Presumably if you're deleting more memory
than you have, that would fire. Just for debugging this, you could even
put in a map of allocated addresses and sizes and just track what requests
come in that don't seem to match.
It seems like requests that would cause this to go negative would end up
sticking out like a sore thumb.
