+# THE MALLOC STORY
+######################################################################
+# 1994:
+# the simple program `for ($i=1;$i<38771;$i++){$t{$i}=123}' fails
+# with Larry's malloc on NS 3.2 due to broken sbrk()
+#
+# setting usemymalloc='n' was the solution back then. Later came
+# reports that perl would run unstable on 3.2:
+#
+# 1996:
+# From about perl5.002beta1h perl became unstable on the
+# NeXT. Intermittent coredumps were frequent on 3.2 OS. There were
+# reports, that the developer version of 3.3 didn't have problems, so it
+# seemed pretty obvious that we had to work around an malloc bug in 3.2.
+# This hints file reflects a patch to perl5.002_01 that introduces a
+# home made sbrk routine (remember, NeXT's sbrk _never_ worked). This
+# sbrk makes it possible to run perl with its own malloc. Thanks to
+# Ilya who showed me the way to his sbrk for OS/2!!
+#
+# The whole malloc desaster lead to a failing gdbm test. It is far
+# beyond my understanding, why GDBM_File breaks with the "fix", but in
+# general I consider it better to have a working perl with broken GDBM
+# than no perl at all.
+#
+# So, this hintsfile is using perl's malloc. If you want to turn
+# perl's malloc off, you need to remove '-DUSE_PERL_SBRK' and
+# '-DHIDEMYMALLOC' from the ccflags and set usemymalloc to 'n'.
+#
+# 1997:
+# From perl5.003_22 the malloc bug has no impact any more. We can run
+# a perl without a special sbrk. Apparently Chip Salzenberg, the hero
+# of 5.004 anyway, earned another trophy during Australien Open.
+#
+# use the following two lines to enable USE_PERL_SBRK. Try this if you
+# encounter intermittent core dumps:
+#ccflags='-DUSE_NEXT_CTYPE -DUSE_PERL_SBRK -DHIDEMYMALLOC'
+#usemymalloc='y'
+# use the following two lines if you have perl5.003_22 or better and
+# do not encounter intermittent core dumps.
ccflags='-DUSE_NEXT_CTYPE'
-POSIX_cflags='ccflags="-posix $ccflags"'
+usemymalloc='n'
