What steps will reproduce the problem?
Run ./smatool -v -c garage.conf

* 3 out of 4 runs gives this error
* 1 out of 4 I get the well known date error

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I have seen this in the mercurial tip aswell.

It is caused by the realloc in InitReturnKeys().

Compiling without the -O option to gcc fixes (avoids?) the issue.
