Comment (by cypherpunks): They use jemalloc for Windows? I was under the impression Windows used the system malloc. And yeah I know newer versions of jemalloc are improved (redzones, etc), but I'm still a little weary, especially given that OpenBSD's malloc is actually really well-designed from a security standpoint. Though honestly the Copperhead malloc (a hybrid of bionic and OpenBSD's) is even better, but I feel it's unlikely that it would be included in Tor. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20424#comment:33> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
