            Bug ID: 227998
           Summary: make.conf(5) contains outdated statement about
                    MALLOC_PRODUCTION (A and J options)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rebecca@bluestop.org
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

make.conf(5) contains the following statement about MALLOC_PRODUCTION:

     MALLOC_PRODUCTION
                   (bool) Set this to disable assertions and statistics
                   gathering in malloc(3).  It also defaults the A and J
                   runtime options to off.  Disabled by default on -CURRENT.

I believe the A and J options were from the old malloc implementation
(phkmalloc?), while FreeBSD has used jemalloc for many years, which uses a
different set of options.
