Looks like a platform itself is somewhat faulty: [1]. Also please bear in mind that standalone memory testers would rather not expose certain classes of memory failures, I`d suggest to test allocator`s work against gcc runs on tmpfs, almost same as you did before. Frequency of crashes due to wrong pointer contents of an fs cache is most probably a direct outcome from its relative memory footprint. 1. https://communities.intel.com/thread/105640
