What are lastUpdate and license pointing to?  Are these allocated
and released elsewhere or could these be the unfreed chunks?

I also have a habit of setting pointers to null after freeing them.
This helps to identify accesses after release and multiple release
attempts.  Certainly the unfreed chunk itself shouldn't produce
a reset so you might be looking for a different problem
completely, with the unfreed chunk just a side-issue.
