We can't see why either. If you provide a snippet of code, it may help. Are you doing something like this in your code?
Code:
    system("/bin/ls");

    system("/bin/ls");
No nothing like that. The double free error was for this:

templist = *ptraddr;
*ptraddr = (*ptraddr)->next;
free(templist);

but now it's solved. Now i get a malloc corruption(fast) for this:

while (*ptraddr != NULL)
ptraddr = &((*ptraddr)->next);
*ptraddr = malloc(sizeof(struct listnode));
(*ptraddr)->a = i;
(*ptraddr)->b = j;
(*ptraddr)->next = NULL;
