I've looked through the archives and found a couple of references,
mostly to the double free message below.  Suggestions have included
disabling nsrauth for a client and modifying environment variable
MALLOC_CHECK_  to prevent nsrexecd from being killed immediately (both
from 2 years ago).  I'm having an issue where I am receiving one of
these messages at different nsrexecd core dumps.

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop):
0x0000002a987ffc30 ***
*** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000037e6c316b8
***

I am running v7.3.3 Networker - 64-bit on RHEL4 ES Update 6 x86_64.  If
I restart Networker and the group in question everything is fine for a
while which can be a day, a few days, a week, ... and then it happens
again. I have a separate smaller system running the 32-bit OS and
Networker and it does not have this issue.

Has anyone else worked this issue to a happy conclusion?  Is going to
the 32-bit Networker a viable option?  I don't have the luxury of a test
system, so, any solution needs to have good track record.
