Please re-compile gpsdrive and make sure CFLAGS contains the `-g'
switch. Link it, but don't let make `strip' it. With the resulting
binary, use libefence:

you at host:...$ LD_PRELOAD=libefence.so ./gpsdrive

That'll hopefully tell us something about the source of memory
corruption.  (If you compiled eg. Mapnik or other stuff by yourself, I
guess that it's a header file conflict, eg. that you're using an "old"
library (that came with your system), while you used the newer header
files for compiling gpsdrive, or the other way around.)

MfG, JBG
