Heap check failure on unit test during make check

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.export CPP=-I/user/aimmanen/gperftoools-2.0
2./bin/sh configure --prefix==/user/aimmmanen/gperftools-2.0
3. make check

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
make check fails.
3 heap check unit test cases failed. Everything else passed.

Details of the failed heap unit test cases are:

If you are still puzzled about why the leaks are there, try rerunning this 
program with HEAP_CHECK_TEST_POINTER_ALIGNMENT=1 and/or with 
HEAP_CHECK_MAX_POINTER_OFFSET=-1
If the leak report occurs in a small fraction of runs, try running with 
TCMALLOC_MAX_FREE_QUEUE_SIZE of few hundred MB or wi

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version gperftools 2.0
gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)
OS Linux 2.6.9-67.0.4.EL #1 Fri Jan 18 04:50:00 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386

Please provide any additional information below.

I cannot upgrade the OS systems since we have some old systems that are being 
built on this OS and we want to stabilize it before upgrading the OS. Kindly 
guide me on how to avoid this heap check error.

Attached the output of the /tmp/heap_check_info to determine the problem. 
Please let me know what is missing to cause the heap check unit test to fail 
after configuration.

Ignore this as it worked on gcc version 4.1.2 20080704.
