--- Comment #8 from Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh at sourceware dot org> ---
Malloc interposing (i.e. preloading a custom malloc implementation DSO that
allocates memory using hugetlb pages) is the right way to do this because t=
hese
hooks in malloc have been a long time security hazard.  Also as you've
discovered, support for custom morecore is also broken in subtle ways, which
makes it quite hard to maintain within glibc.
