And this problem goes away if I register the krb5 formats before the plugins, so it is one of the plugin formats that thrashes memory.

This drives me nuts. I have narrowed it down to wow-srp. If wow-srp self-test runs before krb5-23's, the latter fails cmp_all(1). If I disable wow-srp, the problem is gone.

GMP or not doesn't matter.
OMP needs to be enabled, but it happens with OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 as well so it's not a thread safety issue.

I can't reproduce it on Linux. And Valgrind does not help me (actually under Valgrind the bug does not even show). And making wow's buffers a lot larger does not make the problem go away.

I'm stumped. Dhiru, can you try to reproduce this on OSX?
