I'll have to look at the issue in more detail. It doesn't seem to be the memalign fragment merging issue alone causing this, because it also happens on at least one dlmalloc-style allocator that never allows adjacent non-merged chunks to exist. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
