Bug#350579: libc6: MALLOC_PERTURB_ -support is not enabled (= environment variable)
severity 350579 wishlist thanks Hi, Folkert van Heusden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.5-6 Severity: normal The MALLOC_PERTURB_ environment variable is normally checked by the libc-variable.

This is very usefull for testing software to see if that software properly initializes memory before using it. Why do you say normally? It seems there is nothing like that in the glibc, at least a 'grep -r MALLOC_PERTURB' in the glibc sources does not return anything. Bye, Aurelien -- .''`.
