Firstly it only happens at samplerate conversion for me 44.1 -> 48 (eg I 
record at 44.1 and resample to 48 - both 16 bit)
and at a low period size 128 (2048 is fine).  The following error poped up but 
not always
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb3727128 ***
in fact pretty sure ardour pops up something about glibc in its error window 
before it shutsdown)
I will give you more details later but i think it is pretty easily to 
reproduce once you now how - and it pretty much brings down jack and ardour.

I reported this earlier (on the jacck list) - my system has changed a lot 
(different libc and jack) but i can still reproduce it.
