>Organization:
Geeksrus.NET
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD wwweasel.geeksrus.net 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Sun Dec 2 19:14:12 EST 2001 root@wwweasel.geeksrus.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WWWEASEL i386
>Description:

/usr/include/malloc.h on CURRENT generates an error using #error.
/usr/include/malloc.h on STABLE only generates a #warning.

This means that things (like KDE) will build in STABLE and then people try
to build the released ports on CURRENT and get bit by this.

If malloc.h were MFC'd, then we'd catch all of this stuff up front, rather
than after releasing new ports to the world.

>How-To-Repeat:

Compile something that does "#include <malloc.h>".

>Fix:

MFC malloc.h.
