In addition to the possibilities Alan mentioned it could be because you
have a bug elsewhere.

If you have a bug that writes data incorrectly into the heap it can
corrupt the internal data-structures of malloc (or new), causing it to
fail at random.  This is quite a common bug.

As Philips said, post the code to comp.lang.c++
