Hi Kevin - This is unfortunately a problem with the macos freesurfer distribution, which is still built on leopard instead of snow leopard b/c of compatibility issues with some libraries unrelated to tracula. It's possible to compile tracula on snow leopard (in fact that's what I use) but you'd have to download the source code.
Since several people have written about this by now, I'm considering something that'd be less of a pain for users, which is to create a tarball with only the tracula executables compiled on snow leopard and make it available.

Freesurfer users,
I have ran into a malloc error running trac-all. Looks like the same error that Stijn posted to the list on 17 Jun 2011. I did not see a solution posted. It occurs in dmr_train using trac-all -prep –c dmrirc.txt. Also tried using trac-all –prior –c dmrirc.txt with the same results. Reset the tcsh limits for datasize, ….
