Hello Dan,

this is a limitiation, but the patch is IMHO to extensive to be applied in the 
current state of development.

I'm really curious to see a performance comparison between pkg_malloc and 
system malloc for recent glibc implementations. I'm not sure how much work 
they've invest after the merge of ptmalloc2 that went into 2.3.0, but the 
only actual issues i'm aware of are some regressions [1] and some 
multithreading problems [2], which probably not apply for us.

Cheers,

Henning
