You could just as easily do:

ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf

What java are you using? When I use the one from an earlier netsacpe 7
(the only one I could get running at all) it runs one or two java apps for
me, then java_vm starts consuming all cpu.

mergemaster has nothing to do with it. It only deals with files built by
/usr/src/etc/Makefile, and malloc.conf is not one of them.
