37 # the simple program `for ($i=1;$i<38771;$i++){$t{$i}=123}' fails
38 # with Larry's malloc on NS 3.2 due to broken sbrk()
40 # setting usemymalloc='n' was the solution back then. Later came
41 # reports that perl would run unstable on 3.2:
43 # From about perl5.002beta1h perl became unstable on the
44 # NeXT. Intermittent coredumps were frequent on 3.2 OS. There were
45 # reports, that the developer version of 3.3 didn't have problems, so it
46 # seemed pretty obvious that we had to work around an malloc bug in 3.2.
47 # This hints file reflects a patch to perl5.002_01 that introduces a
48 # home made sbrk routine (remember, NeXT's sbrk _never_ worked). This
49 # sbrk makes it possible to run perl with its own malloc. Thanks to
50 # Ilya who showed me the way to his sbrk for OS/2!!

53 # So, this hintsfile is using perl's malloc. If you want to turn perl's
54 # malloc off, you need to change remove '-DUSE_PERL_SBRK' and
55 # '-DHIDEMYMALLOC' from the ccflags above and set usemymalloc below

70 # running ranlib. The '5' is an empirical number that's "long enough."
