I looked at the malloc man page and /usr/src/UPDATING , and while UPDATING has a mention that some malloc flags are on, I can't seem to determine which ones they are. Am I looking in the wrong places? If not, should this be documented? (Or perhaps, the flags set in /etc/malloc.conf as the man page indicates?) Or am I just being a weenie? I'm happy to write the text for the man page, but I honestly don't know the facts. -- Ted Faber http://www.isi.edu/~faber PGP: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkeys.asc Unexpected attachment on this mail?
