Stack trace

Electric fence reports "ElectricFence Aborting: Allocating 0 bytes, probaly a bug" on SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO). In my case SDL_Init is called in a function called from main.c. I tried calling it directly from the main() without any luck, still the same outcome.

SDL: 2.0.10 (linked & compiled)
Language: C
OS: Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon 4.6.7 on VMware Player on Win10Pro
