We'll have to see how much of John's other changes this requires. It could turn out to be a little too "expensive" for -stable, so don't get your hopes up is all! :-) > 2.

Last I heard, there was still some userland stuff complaining about malloc conditions. I'd kinda like to see all of those found and fixed before declaring this malloc ready for -stable. > 4.
