openbsd-malloc-0-alt2.i586.rpm

Description:

This package contains experimental alternative to glibc
implementation of malloc() which is prone to heap fragmentation
due to use of deprecated brk() syscall; one might find it useful
to reduce e.g. Firefox memory consumption (though reportedly
won't work with e.g. Emacs).

Use openbsd-malloc some-program to run some-program this way.

NB: this package will hopefully get obsolete with glibc 2.6+
