I can't reproduce this with the current github master on Nix.

It looks like the Debian package is a few years behind upstream and is using an out-of-tree patch that was rejected over what sounds like a similar issue.

I came across this downstream Debian bug and found
that the mentioned out-of-tree patch might do the efree(full); twice.
I proposed there a fix by setting full to NULL after the first efree call.

The bug was caused and fixed in Debian's patch.
