Subject: does phkmalloc check bounds?
Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk


Without having looked at phkmalloc - where is it hidden in the
source tree BTW - I wonder if it does bounds checking, that is
allocate a bit more on every malloc, initialize the extra bytes
with a magic pattern and see if it is invalidated next time
an alloc routine is entered.
