Ugh.  Yes.  That does sound like a data structure corruption problem.
I had not seen that.  It could just be a reference counting problem
as children are supposed to have references to their parents, but
this looks more like a memory stomp.

Grrr.

Tracking a memory stomp really needs a reproducer because those are
ugly.
