This kind of malloc warnings is generally an indication about bugs in the application using malloc(), not about a problem in malloc() itself. So if you can reproduce that problem, send it (along with a page that lets you reproduce it) to the Apache maintainers. Of course, you should first make sure that you're running the most recent version of Apache, since it's not unlikely that they've already fixed that problem. > 2) in the 'tin' newsreader, when it _first_ starts, and is setting up > its files; it produces, > Malloc warning: free():junk pointer, to high to make sense.
