A long time ago A existed, not it is the default: if an inconsistency
is detected, malloc aborts.
While developing and for "sensitive" programs S is best. ssh and sshd
use it.
If S is too slow, any subset of CFJ might provide a middle ground.
Not using any flags is also pretty safe already compared to other
malloc implementations.
