I don't see why you assume so: there are multitudinous paths through
qsort.

I checked this under valgrind, which normally shows up such errors, and
found nothing, even with gctorture on (and valgrind instrumentation of
R's memory management on).
You used the dput and Robin used load(), so presumably on not exactly the
same object. I think Robin needs to test what he actually gave us, to be
sure. If that is the case, I suspect the compiler.
