Compiled/linked executable CGI script crashes when run as CGI, runs to completion when run outside HTTPD

Title pretty much says it all.

HTTPD is 2.2.15 on RHEL6.

Executable aborts, log files show glibc detected memory issues (messages vary).
Run same executable outside of the CGI environment, on the same host and under an unprivileged user (can't run as "apache" because that's not a real ID, my sysadmin says), duplicating all input, under a debugger and not under a debugger, and it runs to completion with no errors.

What could HTTPD as the parent environment be imposing that would cause the aborts when they don't occur outside of Apache? I speculated some ulimit kind of thing resulting in less memory actually being available for the thousands of malloc() calls the executable performs.
