Jason Evans <jasone@freebsd.org> writes: > [sbrk is broken] The real question is why we would revert perfectly good code (jemalloc) from using a modern interface to using one that has been obsolete for twenty years, and marked as such in the man page for seven years. If rwatson@ wants malloc() to respect resource limits, he can bloody well fix mmap(). Until he does, the datasize limit is a joke anyway, as anyone can circumvent it by either using mmap() instead of malloc() or setting _malloc_options before calling malloc().
