[Serdev] SER crashing at random locations

My first guess would be malloc corruption -- writing past the end of the
allocated memory.  This may lead to insidious problems that cause
crashes long after the offending instructions are executed.  Recommend
having someone else look through your code; without preconceptions as to
what it does, they will be more likely to catch such a bug.

Then again, it might be something entirely unrelated :-) .

Have fun,
