  When the patch reaches a form acceptable for eglibc, I believe it
would certainly by worth a try to at least try to submit the patch for
consideration within glibc - maybe it won't be successful for hard to
understand reason, maybe Ulrich will point out some good arguments
against it, maybe it will even get in.

  Either way, it would be wise to submit a malloc.3 patch for manpages
describing this environment variable when the patch is accepted in
eglibc.
