Description

Since v.2.0.3 the application which uses mimalloc crashes sporadically mainly at _mi_heap_delayed_free() function.
The application has been compiled with VS2017 and Qt 5.15.2 (64 bit).
Updating to 2.0.4 did not solve the issue unfortunately.
Partial stack trace attached.

Research direction

Start at the _mi_heap_delayed_free() entry point and review the partial stack trace from the Windows 10 64-bit crash, considering the reported mimalloc versions and VS2017/Qt 5.15.2 environment. Done means reproducing or isolating the sporadic crash and validating a fix or establishing what additional diagnostic information is required.
