Wow, this is very strange.  All I can assume is that there's some memory
corruption here because the malloc/free in func_sort() looks correct to
me.

Are those special characters in that string (e.g., is "\202" a 4-char
string of "\", "2", "0", "2", or is it a single character with value
0202)?  Ditto for the "\f"; is that one or two characters?

Do those characters appear in the actual makefile somewhere, or is this
the result of some kind of corruption?


If you happen to have valgrind installed it would be interesting to run
the make instance inside valgrind and see what it complains about.

Are you somewhat proficient with GDB?  If I suggested some breakpoints
to set and things to print would you be able to do that?
