I've seen few such cases as well, usually with large complicated apps. As a
rule, it turned out that there were *alloc/free bugs of either kind in the code.
After having them fixed, both stripped and non-stripped binaries worked equally.
I don't know why - probably, when the executable with debugging symbols is
loaded, extra memory chunks are allocated by the kernel making the system more
tolerant to the malloc bugs?
