This should be a FAQ. For the third time in recent months (and this  
time the last sentence is actually true ;-):

Probably the infamous slice bug. Try:

export G_SLICE=always-malloc

(or if you're using csh, "setenv G_SLICE always-malloc")

before invoking gschem.

Ales looked into this, says it's fixed in the CVS dev version.
