Last time it occurred for me it was a very short test makefile, with no 
gcc call, only multiple calls to "which" and "sed". I had copy/pasted 
these lines 6 or 7 times to simulate a big activity, and the malloc bug 
appeared. Unfortunately I didn't backup that simple makefile :-(

It is sure that the "make" command from SpareMiNT contains the malloc 
bug. However I didn't run MiNT with memory protection, maybe some other 
process (which, sed or other) has overwritten the make memory.

This is really annoying.
