Centos – glibc detected *** /usr/sbin/httpd: free(): invalid pointer

centosglibc

One of my websites gives a lot of internal server errors. When I restart httpd they are gone for a while. But after some time they come back. And once or twice they have frozen the whole server/VPS.

When I check the log files I come across these errors:
* glibc detected * /usr/sbin/httpd: free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007f1d55342fa8 ***
And sometimes also preceded with:
zend_mm_heap corrupted

I am running CentOS 6.5 and use VestaCP as a hosting control panel. VestaCP installed Apache/2.2.15, PHP 5.4.21, APC 3.1.15

My server runs 4-5 tiny websites on a VPS with 4GB RAM. The site giving the problems is build with Drupal 7. My other websites are build with Laravel and don't seem to cause any problems. But I am not sure if it is a problem with that Drupal website or server configuration.

I found these similar problems, but the first one is not the answer for me. And the second one, I'm not sure what to do with it.
Apache segfault glibc segfault
CentOS 6 Httpd failed to start

Can anyone show me the right direction to solve this problem? Thank you.

Since I haven't experienced any problems since I disabled APC as suggested by Michael Hampton, the problems seems to be solved. No more APC for me. Thanks Michael.
