Thank you for your reply. Are you referring to this specific package or in general terms? For this patch, the amount of data dynamically allocated is not large, a few strings of size much less than PATH_MAX of 4096 bytes. According to the manpage for malloc the default MMAP_THRESHOLD is at 128kB. Alternately asprintf could be used instead of malloc+snprintf, but asprintf is not standardized in C or POSIX (yet?). Additionally, it also allocates memory from the heap?? Anybody else has comments, before I submit the bug report? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
