Never mind, I've been fat-fingering things for days and had
accidentally deleted an expression. This was not a bug in hackerlab.
The nice libgmalloc in Xcode 1.2 helped me find it. If you develop on
a Mac and don't already know about it, think ElectricFence for Mac OS

FWIW Xcode 1.2 includes an updated gdb that appears to correct this
issue as well.
