You could just as easily do:

ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf

What java are you using? When I use the one from an earlier netsacpe 7
(the only one I could get running at all) it runs one or two java apps for
me, then java_vm starts consuming all cpu.

Never would be, unless you create it. The malloc man page describes this.

mergemaster has nothing to do with it. It only deals with files built by
/usr/src/etc/Makefile, and malloc.conf is not one of them.
