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. -john
