Package: libc6 Version: 2.7-18 Severity: normal While developing mallocpool (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mallocpool/) I've had the opportunity to try various configuration options for my reworking of malloc.c, such as not using arenas. In malloc.c this is defined as "the same as HAVE_MMAP" so that's set to 0 as well, to perform some simple tests.
I realise that the glibc used in Debian is built with WAVE_MMAP and USE_ARENAS set to 1 but if some embedded system comes along where this isn't true then there may well be a problem. This happens in __libc_malloc in the event of an allocation failure. The attached patch fixes the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library libc6 recommends no packages.
