There had been a "free(aux);" added in that patch in timers.c in the
assignment operator ("=") function. Probably it didn't took an earlier
(conditional?) free() into account and such rans into a glibc-assertion.

Changing the "free(aux);" to "if(aux) free(aux);" would probably care for
that (resembling the earlier behaviour).
