The program incorrectly overwrites stack values.  The result of this is
unpredictable, hence your two outputs.  Valgrind can't be expected to continue
running in the face of arbitrary bugginess -- it reports the original error,
and if you fix that the crash won't occur.

See FAQ 3.2 at http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/faq.html#faq.bugdeath for
more details.
