Hello!

I just tried it and after installing new libc my system started to
misbehave. Many programs (like vi) complained about memory allocation
and my Xserver just crashed.

I'm running -current (supped yesterday) and i compiled malloc exactly
like you said.
( i defined j in free_pages and also i got 2 warnings during compilation:
FreeBSD i386 constants hardcoded.
i386 inline assembly used.

but i guess it's ok)
