[Bug libc/10776] New: With M_MMAP_MAX=0 free() causes undefined behaviour.

[Christian dot Meier at informatik dot stud dot uni-erlangen dot de]

Calling the following at the beginning of main causes an application (with many
allocations) to behave undefined.

if (mlockall(MCL_CRRENT|MCL_FUTURE))
  return 1;

mallopt(M_TRIM_THRESHOLD, -1);
mallopt(M_MMAP_MAX, 0);
int * buffer = (int*) malloc(10*1024*1024);

if (!buffer)
  return 1;

for (int i = 0; i < 10*1024*1024/sizeof(int); ++i) {
  buffer[i] = 42;
}
free(buffer);

However, commenting out either free(buffer); or mallopt(M_MAP_MAX, 0); causes
the application to behave as expected.

Commenting out the buffer write loop also causes the application to behave as
expected.

There isn't enough information in the report.  Provide a small, self-contained
test case.  Otherwise debug your program and point to the problem.
