Hi,

I believe I've identified the issue in libdbd-sqlite3. See https://bugs.debian.org/824067 .

It also seems like the issue has been fixed upstream in libdbi already in the
Spring of 2014, but no new releases has been made since then.

Could this be all, or are you aware of other memory issues or problems with libdbd? 



Additionally, I've found another problem for big-endian architectures (https://bugs.debian.org/818566)
You'll see my patch here:
  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/libosmocore.git/tree/debian/patches/0004-Patched-structs-for-big-endian-architectures.patch?id=cfd8ad8cd4e69a10f5057539eb26e2624df17a85

Half of the patch has already been applied to libosmocore some time ago.

Cheers
Ruben
