Dear friends, thank you for your superb effort in TeXmacs. It looks

cool. I do, however, have one rather crippling problem.

Using TeXmacs under the usual XDarwin on my OS X 10.2.2 system running at
400 MHz with 384 MB RAM, I observe a rather predictable occurrence of this
malloc error:

malloc[11452]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0xd19454; This could
be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block;
Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug pure
virtual method called

If you do a google search for "Deallocation of a pointer not malloced", you'll see that this is an error message that happens rather frequently and unspecifically in Mac OSX with all kinds of programs. From these reports, I am not able to understand whether there is a common cause.

I have never seen it with TeXmacs.
