segfault on av_malloc()

Description

I'm using ffmpeg in a c++ project and at a point at my code I try to call av_malloc() bu it results in a segfault. As I'm using ubuntu amd64 arch, I don't think I don't have enough memory. It's also strange it happens only in one point of my code, where I create a new pointer and just assign the return of av_malloc() (here the size is 460800) as parameter. It causes a segfault before return. It makes me think if libav keeps a internal state of general memory alocation system...

The ffmpeg version I'm using is the commit e94f4294746d50ef7b25993fa59a9be32023d3bb checked out today (21th November) from master branch.

The backtrace related to this problem is:

I'm sorry for de delay. After investigating more I realized the problem was in my code, with some data been desalocated twice.

Thx for the support.
