Uh-oh!  I could probably come up with 50 bugfixes that this might
correspond to over the last two years.  If you're committed to
2.5.0p2, then all I can suggest is to build with debugging symbols and
run amcheck under 'gdb' to see what's getting double-freed.
Alternately, you could build a shim lib that stubs out free()
altogether -- amcheck isn't a daemon, so leakage won't hurt too badly.

If you're not committed to 2.5.0p2, then upgrading to 2.6.0 (or at
least 2.5.2p1) would be better.
