"Free" means (IIRC) that ST-Guide has tried to access memory not currently
owned by any process. This means either...

a) There is a bug in ST-Guide where it tries to access memory it hasn't
   allocated.

...or...

b) Somebody has sent it a VA_START-message with a pointer to free memory.
   This is obviously a problem with the calling application, and not
   ST-Guide.

I haven't got a clue, here it's set to "readable" and hasn't caused any
problems.

Atleast it doesn't happen with my system.
