I wasn't entirely sure which forum this should go in, so feel free to move it as necessary. (If you can do that here, I don't know.)

While trying to run a program using the light sensor to turn on, and color sort with the camera, it started giving a lot of errors including "glibc detected : double free or corruption." Googling the problem returned with memory problems (usually in C++ based Linux systems). Later we tried to access the camera, and it crashed. Upon resetting, it hasn't displayed this error again. My assumption is that it was hardware related. Should I be worried; is the memory failing or something?
Any insight is appreciated, thanks.

Make sure nothing else is accessing the camera. Ensure no other program is running at the same time and that you're not viewing the camera (from the Sensors -> Camera section) while running your program.
