--- Comment #7 from joseph at codesourcery dot com <joseph at codesourcery dot com> --- Yes, I consider it a bug in malloc that it produces objects 2GB or more in size on 32-bit systems (because of the one-past-end address, the largest size that can't produce undefined behavior in the user program is 2GB minus one byte). Unfortunately I expect some 32-bit applications rely on such large allocations, so if we changed malloc (please report a bug to glibc Bugzilla) we'd need a way (feature test macro?) for people to continue to build programs to use the old malloc, as well as to avoid breaking existing binaries.
