You are using the massif tool. Massif does not detect leaks or errors,
it rather produces a report about the memory used (evolution, peak, ...).
The above seems to be a crash at the time your program terminates,
as the glibc __libc_freeres is called by valgrind function _vgnU_freeres
at exit.
If your program crashes at exit in __libc_freeres, it is recommended
to use --run-libc-freeres=no: the user manual indicates to use this
for buggy glibc. See user manual for more details.
The fact that it crashes inside a docker and not in another environment
might be explained by different glibc version or (as John said) because
of another layout of the memory.
