Good - at least that's working. (That's what's supposed to happen)

Ok. I've looked at the trace, but sadly it seems to not have that much
useful info. Is this trace from a debug or regular build? If it's a
debug build, then I am really lost. As it is, free_y, which is where it's
segfaulting, is not a function in our code, I think (not our naming
conventions). So I'm not sure where it is.
