Your system is not consistent.  There is no _malloc_prefork()
(or _malloc_foofork()) in -stable; it only exists in -current.
You've got -current libraries (at least libpthread) on -stable.
libpthread is installed in /usr/lib in RELENG_6, not /lib.
So if you've downgraded from -current, you'll need to remove
the -current libraries that have different locations in
RELENG_6 (no, I don't think there is an automated way to do
this).
