Description

qpid-dispatch master @ 51244, which is very close to the 1.6 release, has various crashes.

The test network is 12 routers spread over two systems. (Configuration generator to be attached.) Four interior routers are in linear arrangement with A and C on one system ('unused'), and B and D on the other system ('taj'). Each system then attaches four edge routers, one to each interior router.

Running lightweight tests, like proton cpp simple_send and simple_recv to ports on INTA and INTB interior routers leads to a crash on INTC. The crashes typically look like reuse of structures after they have been freed (addresses are 0x9999999999999999). Other crashes hint of general memory corruption (crashes in malloc.c).
