Ok, it looks like pool is ok (pool->d.end - pool == 0x100).
Probably the cause of strange arguments is either corrupted stack
or some compiler optimizations.

For now I tend to think the problem is somewhere in (g)libc. You may
want to update it, and if it doesn't help - recompile with debug
and dig into it further.
