I've recompiled most of /bin and /sbin with dlmalloc (and I have a libc.so with
it). Everything is working except that sh dumps core when I run my .xinitrc

The line is pretty std :

xterm -fn ... -g ... -title -e tail -f /var/spool/uucp/Log &

I guess sh is freeing something already freed but it is weird that it
happens only in .xinitrc. If I launch the line at the shell (tcsh) it
does not core dump.
