Seems like maybe that is glibc stopping you from running a program
with a (potential) buffer overflow. You can set an environment
variable to make it stop doing that and let you run the program
anyway, assuming you don't want to edit nvclock's source code to fix
the problem. :)

Try:

MALLOC_CHECK_=0 nvclock -i

("man malloc" for more info)
