Comment:

 Using attachment:ticket:7067:0001-Add-alignment-restricted-ForeignPtr-
 allocation-actio.patch and an adapted mallocVector implementation (see
 mallocVectorMine3 at https://gist.github.com/3084806#LC129) the corruption
 as found earlier (using mallocVectorMine1 or mallocVectorMine2) no longer
 occur.
