"(malloc)" prefix above indicates jemalloc, not phkmalloc. So, the error comes from linking against old libc e.g., from FreeBSD 9.3. If you can't rebuild the affected component against new libc try setting both environment variables instead of using /etc/malloc.conf. $ export MALLOC_OPTIONS=A MALLOC_CONF=abort:true $ /path/to/app
