Subject: Bugs in malloc.c

Hi all others,

there are probably still some bugs in malloc.c.
Currently I have really not the time to search
for them. So I only want to inform you, that I
had some crashes with my program (I localized
them finally to free()) but I coudn't see a problem
in my code. So I simply tried an other malloc
(now I'm warned because of the other bugs I found)
namely the file bsdmallo.c and the crash was gone.

And the behaviour is reproducable by me but I
cannot send the code and also haven't the time
to produce a small test case. Maybe there is
someone else who can take e deeper look in the
malloc's and check it for bugs.

Hope, anybody will find the bug since I think
that these functions should be as best as possible
bugfree or we should make the bsdmalloc the default
until the new ones are checked enough.

Robert
