Yesterday, I met Emacs crash this way:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x40359560 in mallopt () from /lib/libc.so.6

But, this Emacs was compiled before these changes:

2006-03-10  Kim F. Storm  <address@hidden>

        * alloc.c (USE_POSIX_MEMALIGN): Fix last change.

2006-03-09  Stefan Monnier  <address@hidden>

        * alloc.c (USE_POSIX_MEMALIGN): New macro.
        (ABLOCKS_BASE, lisp_align_malloc, lisp_align_free): Use it.
