>Description:
malloc(3) dumps core for large size parameters around 0xffff0000.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following code and execute it. Then something similar to the
following should happen:
% ./foo
malloc: Cannot allocate memory
zsh: 2153 segmentation fault (core dumped) ./foo
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
main()
{
char *p;
p = (char *)malloc(0x8fff0000);
if (p == NULL)
perror("malloc");
else
free(p);
p = (char *)malloc(0xffff0000);
if (p == NULL)
perror("malloc");
exit(0);
}
>Fix:
I don't have one.
