I believe it was because my wicontrol was not in sync with the kernel
and the rest of the world. Stepping up from a 5.0-R freshly
installed (I had this as the only CD set handy after my disk crash - an IBM
Travelstar 30 GB btw, which is gonna be replaced by Dell)
to 5.1-current of a couple of days ago didn't run so smooth as I was used to
and I had to run through make buildworld / make world at least two times
fixing some missing directory trees during this and finally the 
mismatching malloc messages ( 01f != 01e  or something ) and the stack
backtrace went away.

What is mor annoying now is that the ifconfig_wi0="DHCP" mechanism
in /etc/rc.conf doesn't work any longer and pulling the card,
inserting it after boot and then giving the appropriate 
ifconfig wi0 ip-address netmask ssid mediaopt adhoc
brings the card to working.
