None of the ICC supplied free and malloc should appear.
That should make sure that there is no interference.

Confirmed. The AT91CAN uses a special heap, but all other
CPUs do not distinguish between stack and other allocations.

Finally it could be a simple bad pointer or buffer overflow
problem. Very difficult to locate, because any change in the
code makes the trouble appear somewhere else.
