Under Linux, memory appears to be corrupted after Alarm object newed/ or call to DisplayObject function.  This is part of a large/complex script, around 1000 lines.

  Using BODY debugger, variables having weird stuff in them.  It is like the memory manager gets hosed.  I would be willing to give entire script/database configuration set to anyone.  The application is GPL'd.  I've got a sample database for MySQL that configures and loads as follows:
mysql <mom1create.sql
mysql <testdb.sql

the crash occurs with either of the following:
(command Line)
php mom.c

crash looks like this:
