What does 'possible heap corruption detected' mean, when listed in the Event Viewer?

Should I be concerned about the stability of the system/memory if I see 'possible heap corruption detected' in the Event Viewer.  There are no details listed as to which program might be causing the possible heap corruption.

Thanks

    You need to share the file you have put into your Sky Drive.

    Hello,

    I do not have skydrive and I don't subscribe to a file sharing service.  Do you have an email address that I can send the unzipped folder to, or not?

    Your answer doesn't give me the answer that I am looking for which is:  what does 'possible heap corruption' mean?  Is this a hard question to answer?

    Two of the possible heap corruptions may be to do with Office LiveSignIn.
