Comment (by jua):

 Hitting such assertions in the allocator usually point to heap corruption
 in the application. While a Haiku bug is possible, it's most likely an
 application bug, e.g. an out of bounds array write. Try to use
 libroot_debug which should help in finding the source of the problem.
