The following is being reported in an attempt to track a Malloc problem.

problems
The malloc warnings I have found are
1) in the httpd's error.log. Both Apache, and NSCA httpd procuce the
same warning, which is
Malloc warning: free():page already free.
This warning is produced each time the file called 'index.html'
is accessed. It may be produced by others, but certainly this
file produces the warning in the error.log file.
2) in the 'tin' newsreader, when it _first_ starts, and is setting up
its files; it produces,
Malloc warning: free():junk pointer, to high to make sense.
it then carries on and completes the process.
to reporduce;
problem 1. Access index.html on the server root
problem 2. do a fresh, new start up of tin.
If already run, remove the files .newnewsrc, .oldnewsrc,
and the directory .tin
thanks
