  This error message seems to come from libc, probably from the malloc /
realloc / free section.

  If I had to hazard a guess, since you noted that your program is threaded,
I'd think perhaps the error indicates that you're trying to realloc some
memory whilst another thread is also trying to do something simular. You may
not have proper locking of your data structures.
