Description of problem:

the libtcmalloc shipped does not support aligned_alloc so use of that function falls through to the libc implementation. A subsequent call to free will result in libtcmalloc reporting 'Invalid free'


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gperftools-libs-2.6.1-1.el7.x86_64

Additional info:
When linked to libc there is no issue and valgrind and libasan report no memory issues obviously.
