Hi All,
I am using jemalloc.c source from FreeBSD-current source.
When i allocate 1MB of memory using malloc() and use it as the below
test shows

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
	int i;
	char *buf;
	size_t size = 1048576 ;

	buf = malloc(size);
	for (i = 0; i < 1048576; i++)
		buf[i] = 'a';
	printf("The length of buff is : %d\n",strlen(buf));
	free(buf);
	return 0;
}

When i try to call strlen(buf) SEGV is recived.

This behaviour is seen when only for 1MB chunk if i allocate
memory lesser than 1MB no issues noticed.

Could anyone see similar problem?
Is the above test wrong?
Or some issue with huge memory allocation in jemalloc?

Your response will be very helpful.

Thanks & Regards,
Channa
