This is very vague. I'd like to note that I have found that the
malloc library of linux is less forgiving than many others I've seen.
Programs which ran ok on other systems gave SEGVs under linux. This
invariably turned out to be a programming error, like using freed
memory.
To be completely on the safe side: Of course I'm not proposing a
change in Linux' malloc library.
