Subject: elogd crashes with malloc() memory corruption 

 I'm having an issue with ELog 2.9.2 revision 2455 where it crashes consistently with:

*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/sbin/elogd: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000014977210 ***

(the address varies). The crash seems to be triggered by the attempt to email a log entry. The log entry itself is saved. If I open the existing message for editing, make no changes, then Submit the message (in order to send email), the daemon crashes.
 
The behavior is consistent on multiple servers, each running CentOS5.9.
