[Ovmsdev] Heap corruption

[Michael Balzer]

Everyone,

I can now reproduce the corrupted heap crashes on branch "master" as 
well, and would like to know if anyone else can reproduce these as well.

To replicate, change the script component to launch the duktape task on 
core 0. Then start the below test script (from "Branch for-v3.3 network 
issues" thread).

The heap corruption will occur within a few seconds. It will happen at 
different places, where a free() call is made.

With duktape (and the script) running on core 1, no heap corruption 
occurs with branch "master". It's present with branch "for-v3.3" then 
only, and it needs much longer script runtime to occur.

I have no idea yet how this can depend on the core we're running on. I'm 
open to suggestions what to try to narrow this down. I've disabled all 
auto start components and file logging, i.e. the module runs without a 
vehicle and without networking. Next would be to exclude components from 
the build.

Regards,
Michael
