The following program when compiled on a box cvs updated to RELENG_4
late yesterday (about 8 hours ago) works fine on the box itself, but the
dynamic binary fails (returns 0) when run on a box running RELENG_4 from
about a week ago. Is this a known and expected issue ?

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main(int argc, char **argv){
  char *temp=(char *)malloc(24);
  printf("temp=%p\n",temp);
}
