FYI, the versions are 3.80 and 3.81, etc., not 3.8.0 and 3.8.1.

This is not where the real problem is, however:

This is the real problem. Someone is calling xrealloc() with a size of
4G, which just ain't gonna work.
Unfortunately I don't have time to backport all the fixes to 3.80.
However, based on your use of eval and this error I strongly suspect
this is an example of bug # 1517. I posted a patch when I fixed that
bug; you can try applying it and see if it helps. See the bug report:
