Face detection result in a inaccurate cvRect's height

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

this.grayImage = cvLoadImage("tmp/full_rate.jpg", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE);

private CvRect findFace()
{
    IplImage cvImg = this.grayImage;

     IplImage equImg = IplImage.create(cvImg.width(), cvImg.height(), IPL_DEPTH_8U, 1);
     cvEqualizeHist(cvImg, equImg);

     CvSeq faces = cvHaarDetectObjects(equImg, this.classifier, this.storage, 1.1, 1, CV_HAAR_DO_ROUGH_SEARCH | CV_HAAR_FIND_BIGGEST_OBJECT);  

      int total = faces.total();
      if (total == 0) {
         resetROI();
         return null;
       }

       CvRect rect = new CvRect(cvGetSeqElem(faces, 0));

       cvClearMemStorage(this.storage);
       return rect;
}

Trying to use above code to get the first face detected but the height of the 
cvRect result is somehow very strange like this:
x: 265, y:214, width:84, height:117309508

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
a normal height value

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest JavaCV and Windwos 7

Please provide any additional information below.

The case is very random sometimes the value is normal but sometimes is not

Memory returned by cvGetSeqElem() is not going to be valid after calling 
cvClearMemStorage(). Do not call cvClearMemStorage() until you no longer need 
the memory. And please read OpenCV's documentation if you intend on using 
OpenCV.
