The configure instructions for kdelib-3.5.2 have the option
"--enable-fast-malloc=full" to use an optimized memory scheme for kde.
This memory scheme in combination with glib>=2.9.1 cause gslice errors in
the knotify part of kdelibs causing arts to malfunction.
Removing the malloc switch causes knotify to work correctly.
So I propose to remove this switch from the compile instructions
I'm not the guy that usually builds and updates KDE, but this seems
like a good idea. I doubt anyone here knows enough about how KDE uses
memory allocation to know whether it's safe to use that switch. And
if that's a known issue with gslice, then it should be fixed.
Bruce, Randy? I think you guys normally build KDE. What do you think
about dropping the fast-malloc setting and using the default?
