won't performance suffer in that case?
i "benchmarked" Perl malloc vs. system malloc under solaris once, there
were far more syscalls to brk() with system malloc.
Configure -Ubincompat5005 solved the dso problem under solaris for me.
btw, i just dug this out of my ~/Mail/.sent-mail-dec-1999
we were comparing usemymalloc under linux, solaris looked similar, but i
don't have those numbers handy.

goodness, it's true, here's a perl with usemymalloc=y :
% strace -o strace.out -f ./perl -MPOSIX -e0
% grep brk strace.out | wc -l
87
and the default with usemymalloc=n :
% strace -o strace2.out -f /usr/bin/perl -MPOSIX -e0
% grep brk strace2.out | wc -l
204
it was over a year ago when I looked at this, I can't recall now why I
thought usemymalloc=n was the right choice.
