I was going through the comments in malloc.c to understand the way memory is assigned following a malloc request. I got a bit confused with the "largest chunk" part. Usually, smallest chunk of memory satisfying the malloc request is selected from the free list. I think going by the code implemented following the comments also shows that "smallest chunk" is selected.
As trivial as it may seem, I would like to know if the phrase (largest chunk) is a simple case of typo (or my understanding got skewed somewhere?). I found #bug 27243 talking the same (https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?27243).
