You need all of src/lib/libc for 2.2.2-release.  Then get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c
and replace the malloc.c in the 2.2.2 libc. Compile and install.
As always, it is a good idea to make a backup copy of your
existing libc before installing the new one.

A quicker workaround (but not a real solution) is to link the
affected programs (knews and xperfmon++ are known victims so far) 
with gnumalloc.  Just add `-L/usr/lib/compat -lgnumalloc' to the
Makefile where the program is linked.
