I've seen this kind of infinite loop when the memory allocator  
gets confused.  However, the stack trace doesn't help pin down  
the offending code, as the loop typically occurs later.  If you  
use:

MALLOC_CHECK_=2 gdb /path/to/balsa

you'll get an abort when the corruption occurs--could you post  
the results?

Thanks!

Peter
