Eivind Eklund once stated:

=> =overcommit_memory:
=> =
=> =This file contains only one value.
=> 
=> I prefer the value of /etc/malloc.conf link and the corresponding
=> environment variables.
=
=That doesn't solve this problem - it doesn't handle e.g. fork.

Does not currently, but this, IMHO, is where to add it. And then,
the man page for overcommit_memory (very short) will point to the
malloc's man page, where all the possible values will be described.
