It's in the nature of memory bugs that when you screw up some memory 
it may behave in very nondeterministic ways, because on every 
installation memory is laid out differently.

If you're interested in reading more about this, I've written some 
articles on memory management on my web site, and I also touch this 
subject as part of the C tutorial there.
