Electric fence tells me that there is a free too often in
builtins/fc.def at line 397. Maybe this has something to do with the
call to 

  add_unwind_protect ((Function *)xfree,
fn);                                   

in line 632, but I have not understood the code thoroughly. 

BTW. Can anybody explain me why the bash code has implemented xmalloc(),
xrealloc and xfree() three times and uses plain malloc/free in addition?

Best regards

Uwe
