(Malloc(3X) is an alternate implementation of malloc.) Does anyone know what these undocumented features are? They probably pertain to the global variables named things like `allocx' which are brought in from libc along with malloc. This is not just idle curiosity. To know this would be useful for a current project. Respond by mail; I'll summarize to the net. Sam Kendall {allegra,ihnp4,ima,amd70}!wjh12!kendall Delft Consulting Corp. decvax!genrad!wjh12!kendall
