I installed 4.4-RC5 last night. At reboot, the screen displays all
the stuff  you normally see like devices probed and found.
The last line says Mounting root from ufs ad0s1a
after that the following message keeps scrolling and the
system never boots all the way:

init: malloc(): Warning: Recursive call

So I tried to boot from the older saved kernel 4.3-STABLE of
May 2001 vintage. I get the same problem.
Is this a bug in the new C library?

Recovering is not a problem. I still have the 4.3 release CDrom
of April 2001. Is there a less destructive way to recover from
this (such as a C library replacement)?

Cheers,

Joe
