Re: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced

I have not heard of this kind of failure. I suggest you subscribe to the icu4c-support list and 
repost your question there - not only is that the "proper" list for support questions like this, but 
also there are more Mac OS experts subscribed there.

For descriptions of the lists and how to subscribe please see http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/archives/

Best regards,
