Then please submit a patch in a PR. I did the original config.h and I am not a powerful CSH user, so I made best guesses.

Those that experience the problem are the ones in the best position to explain and get to the bottom of the issue. > OTOH, since the system version in -STABLE also defines SYSMALLOC and > still manages to work... you could also argue that this points to some > other bug in -CURRENT... lastly it could be argued that I'm barking up > completely the wrong tree. *shrug* Current and RELENG_4 do differ in the default malloc.conf settings. Current uses "ADJ<". Can you try those settings on RELENG_4 and see if it changes anything? -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
