[R] Segmentation fault

Dear R-afficionados,

I have made a package that uses compiled C code, and I use the
Calloc/Free mechanism in that code. When I run a function calling 
the C code, everything is fine, but when I run it once more I get
('R -d gdb', RH 7.2, R-1.3.1):

> te()

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
RunGenCollect (size_needed=41992) at memory.c:1007
1007			SEXP next = NEXT_NODE(s);

My guess is that I haven't Free'd enough in the C code. Before I start
searching, I would like to have an expert opinion. Could the reason be 
something else?

Thanks a lot!

Göran
