Summary: malloc/free crash when creating search indices

Initial Comment:
Program starts fine.  Select "Settings", then "Bookshelf Manager", then "Manager Search Indices", select a Bible text, then "Create Selected Indices".

Sometimes the error is:
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x10547d78 ***
*** BibleTime got signal 6 (Crashing). Trying to save settings.
Alarm clock

Sometimes the error is:
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x1049a8d0 ***
*** BibleTime got signal 6 (Crashing). Trying to save settings.
Alarm clock

(different pointer values every time, of course.)

Doesn't seem to matter if the user is root or not, or where the text modules are located (/usr/local/share/sword or ~/.sword).

malloc failures seem to associate with KJV and MKJV, and free failures seem to associate with RSV and ISV.

BibleTime version 1.6.2
Qt version 3.3.6
running KDE 3.5.4 on PowerMac G4 with 2.6.18.3 kernel.
Slackintosh 11 distro

Can you please test if this also happens with 1.6.3? If so, please provide
more details (stack backtrace).
