Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.5-6 Severity: normal
The MALLOC_PERTURB_ environment variable is normally checked by the libc-variable. When it is set, malloced memory is pre-initialized with the contents of MALLOC_PERTURB_ (so it must be a byte-value). This is very usefull for testing software to see if that software properly initializes memory before using it. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
