Verified.  Setting malloc.conf options to 'aj', lets git-fetch run
without crashing:

: root at kobe:/etc# ln -fs aj malloc.conf
: root at kobe:/etc#
:
: keramida at kobe:/home/keramida/git/erc$ git-fetch
: keramida at kobe:/home/keramida/git/erc$

: root at kobe:/etc# ln -fs AJ malloc.conf
: root at kobe:/etc#
:
: keramida at kobe:/home/keramida/git/erc$ git-fetch
: Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped)
: keramida at kobe:/home/keramida/git/erc$
