malloc should always abort

2015-12-29 Thread Ted Unangst

Long ago, malloc internally had two kinds of failures, warnings and errors. The 'A' option elevated warningst to errors, and has been the default for some time. But then warnings were effectively eliminated in favor of everything being an error, but then the 'a' flag turned errors into warnings!
