free(): double free detected in tcache 2

After upgrading to dar 2.6.8 I seem to have hit a (different) bug. My
daily backup now fails with:

free(): double free detected in tcache 2

So far it has only tried once, and has hit that error. However, I have
never seen it before, and this is the first backup since I upgraded from
dar 2.6.6 yesterday.

I will try to reproduce it, but are there any additional options you
suggest I turn on to get any more information about the problem
(assuming it recurs)?

Here is the actual log from last night's DAR_automatic_backup.sh run
(note: I have removed a LONG list of -P options to protect the
filesystem information as I am posting this to a public list)...
