Just to answer my own post. Yes this is a libc thing.
glibc-2.1.3 is obviously stricter with realloc. I was
reallocing my estimated size matrix to the actual size
after the sparse operation.

If the actual matrix result ended up all-zero, I was
reallocing a to zero size, and the new libc complained.

I've got a temporary fix now, if anyone wants it, but
I'll fix it properly soon.
