this bug doesn't effect but appears sometimes:

*** malloc[438]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0xffffffff; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug

i just tried to replicate the bug. it appreared at the moment i started to parse() an incoming string from carnivore.

it doesn't effect. the sketch runs. i think it has something to do with the RAM.
i'm using osx 10.3.9 ans p55.90. my sketch includes video, carnivore and loads .obj_files.

looks like an os x java bug.. probably not something that can be fixed. i'll add it to the faq under the 'can't fix' section.
