What version of tla? 1.3 had a couple of known memory corruption errors
(de-allocating invalid memory).
I *think* those got fixed as of 1.3.3, but I think they were still there
in 1.3.1.

I'm not sure why you are getting random failures. In my testing, it was
very consistent, because the memory (for whatever reason) was always
(un-)initialized to the same non-null value.
