OK, it's normal.

xmalloc() is used in bash.  It seems not only glibc but also some
tools are broken.  I suspect it's glibc issue.

My intension of (3) is to know which library is used.  Check
/etc/ld.so.conf.  Did you use non-debian glibc?

Moreover, if the result becomes random, and memory error is detected,
then you should check your system's memory size: cat /proc/meminfo.
