+# 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()
-usemymalloc='n'
+#
+# setting usemymalloc='n' was the solution back then. Later came
+# reports that perl would run unstable on 3.2:
+#
+# 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!!
+# andreas koenig, 1996-06-16
+#
+# So, this hintsfile is using perl's malloc. If you want to turn perl's
+# malloc off, you need to change remove '-DUSE_PERL_SBRK' and 
+# '-DHIDEMYMALLOC' from the ccflags above and set usemymalloc below
+# to 'n'.
