The question isn't if name is that address or not, the question is why
isn't that address within the application's memory map.

Well, it would seem to be a bug.  However, rogue pointers can cause
really odd problems that may work on some systems and not others, or may
only show on certain compilation or optimization options, etc.

Can you narrow down the issue into a smaller test case, preferably
without all the library dependancies?  Is the source available?  Its
usually easier to look at the source than trying to look through a core
file.
