c++/6216: seg fault when using new to create a memory array

[Marcos Dione]

    a friendo of mine run into a similar problem this week. she's
new'ing a float array of size 1 (ie, 'float *a; a= new float [size];'
where size has a value of 1) and she gets a similar backtrace. I played
with the program a little and made it compile against libc6 and libstc++
with debug info, but I get no usefull (for me) info.

    I can submit her code (with her consentient) next week, with any
info you consider would be necesary.

    I'm not in the list, so please cc me.
