Subject:   malloc() prob in 2.1R?

I just noticed something bizzar on my 2.1R system.
After running out of swap space quicker than I expected,
I tried running a testswap program that simply continues to malloc
a page (4K) of memory until it dies.  At any point I suspend the program
and check it with ps, ps reports a VSZ twice which I have allocated
with malloc!  On my 2.2-current (as of 11/21), it reports exactly
what I have allocated.

Is there some VM bug in 2.1R that went unnoticed or a malloc bug in 2.1R?

Steven
