Comment:

 Thanks for this detailed report and my apology for not replying sooner.

 After squinting at the screen a lot and several pots of coffee last night,
 I was able to gain some further understanding of this problem.

  * the problem can be reproduced with the current stable version 3.10.2
 and unstable version 3.11.92 (3.12 rc).
  * the actual failure is occurring in libgtop's
 ${prefix}/bin/libgtop_server2 which is running in a separate process.
  * location of the failure is in the darwin specific implementation of
 glibtop_get_netload_p()
  * before returning to caller glibtop_get_netload_p() frees a buffer that
 is passed in as an argument to the function -- this is the failure point.
  * working back through the code now to see how this function gets called
 and how the buffer in question is allocated.

 Hopefully will get to the bottom of this soon.
