With a stock 2.1 system I would believe, phk malloc is enabled, isn't it?

though otoh phkmalloc goes into libc.so.2.2, let me see...
blues> cd /usr/local/bin
blues> ldd perl5.001
perl5.001:
-lm.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2.0 (0x8073000)
-lc.2 => /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 (0x808a000)
-lcrypt.2 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 (0x80f7000)
