I'm not sure what you expect libnotmuch to do here. There's a fatal
"should not happen" error in the memory allocator; it isn't really the
sort of thing one can recover from. It's also not in code we control.

Of course _why_ this error is happening could still be notmuch's
fault. Can you reproduce the problem under valgrind?
