Hey Chet,

thanks for answering.

Did you build bash with `make valgrind'? The bash malloc and wrapper functions 
seriously confuse valgrind.
No, I didn't. Could be a false positive then.
However, I was able to reproduce the crash (by luck) while my bash was attached 
to a debugger. The stacktrace I got during the crash indicates, that it 
happened while adding the command to the bash history:

user@linux64c:~$ ls $PKG
free(): invalid next size (fast)
