you're right, i just found this in the 5.6.1 announcement:
: On some systems (IRIX and Solaris among them) the system malloc is
: demonstrably better. While the defaults haven't been changed in order to
: retain binary compatibility with earlier releases, you may be better off
: building perl with "Configure -Uusemymalloc ..." as discussed in the
: INSTALL file.
that's good news, to bad it isn't the default, sure would save alot of
trouble. i will change the Makefile.PL verbage.
