Double-free errors often occur when a pointer to allocated memory is accidentally freed multiple times. This can happen due to logic errors in your code, such as incorrect ownership management, or when a pointer is copied and both copies are used to free the same memory. Using `Rc` or `Arc` without careful consideration of the underlying memory management can also contribute.
