malloc(): memory corruption: in first stage compile of gcc for lfs 6.3

I'm getting the following error on the first stage compile of gcc for lfs 6.3

Code:

any ideas?

Update on this issue:

I moved from Slackware 12 to the LFS LiveCD 6.3 r2130, thinking it might help. Indeed gcc compilation got much farther along, raising my hopes, but again I got a memory corruption error.

With Slackware 12 I was getting the memory corruption errors in different spots on each attempt to make. I've only tried once and gotten the below error with the LFS LiveCD as a host.

In addition, I've had intermittent, but frequent errors extracting the binutils and gcc bzips.

So, I've tried checking my disk with badblocks, and 'fsck.ext3 -vcf /dev/hdb4', but I've found no problems, so far. I've also run memtest recently, with no issues. I have to think this is some buggy hardware, because I've gotten similar issues on 2 different host distributions. However, Windows really hasn't been buggy at all, and neither have the host distributions, for that matter.

Anyways, I think I'll try a different machine.

My latest error from the LFS LiveCD, first pass compile of gcc:
