Error in `gource': free(): invalid next size (normal)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

PLATFORM:
    Archlinux
SOFTWARE VERSION:
    gource 0.42 from community repository.
    *package: `community/gource 0.42-1`

Issue:
------
The issue happens every time where `-o <FILE>` option is specified.
It leads to a fatal error (SIGABRT) due to a free(2) error.

Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
$ mkdir empty-repository
$ cd empty-repository/
$ git init
$ touch single-file.txt
$ git add single-file.txt
$ git commit -m single_commit
$ gource -o gource.output

Running the following commands (which finally just means: running gource from a 
git repository with the `-o` option) leads to a free(2) error.

I've attached the error report thrown by the gource software.

Wasn't able to reproduce this on Debian.

Not much to go on. Possibly there might be more info if you build Gource with 
debug symbols (ie with -g in CFLAGS).
