Others have seen similar issues, can you email me directly, and perhaps we  
can get to the bottom of it?

We had memory corruption issues I introduced with my array append patch in  
2.041, and I thought I squashed them all, but I should be able to find the  
bug reasonably quickly if I have a reproducible test case.
