--- Comment #4 from Pedro F. Giffuni <pfg@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to jhoward from comment #3)

Thanks for looking into it. I have just been too busy. BTW, if you could up=
load
a diff to bugzilla it would be much better.

You can check the standalone tests here:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/9/tools/regression/lib/libc/stdlib/

(Newer FreeBSD versions have integrated the regression tool into the
testsuite.) I think I had a random testcase with more datapoints somewhere =
to
verify the last commit.

and you can get VM images from ftp, for example here:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/11.0-RELEASE/

About exploitability, it very much depends on where qsort() is used, opengr=
ok
is your friend, and if you are able to realistically generate such sequence=
. I
am aware there are cases where the algorithm can be suboptimal; it may be t=
he
case that the algorithm needs revision (I just haven't seen a case in real
life).
