Hi,

while loading a rather large PicoBSD image (leaving only some
50KB free on a 1.44MB floppy; the in-kernel fs size is 2400KB) i
get the following message:

    Booting 0:fd(0,a)kernel @ 0x333000
    text=0x138000 data=0x0 bss=0xa00 symbols=[+0x600+0x4+0x270+0x4+0x1e2]
    total=0x46c45a entry point=0x333000
    Uncompressing kernel...warning: malloc wrapped
    done
    Booting the kernel

(this is on 2.2.X, the image is a.out format, and i see it on both
an 8MB and a 128MB machine.)

I am concerned by the "malloc wrapped" message -- what is exactly
happening, and can i fix it in some way ? I haven't seen any problem so
far but it might just be that it corrupts some pieces of code/mfs that
i have not used yet.

	thanks
	luigi
