Thanks for the suggestion, but I can no longer trigger a failure.  I tried
running

make check

from the command line.  I also tried running it from a

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

script (as my nightly build script does).  In each case, all tests passed
and no double free was recorded.

I will run with this shell and will let you know if I observe any failures.

Sorry for any troubles this may have caused.
