We have many hundred systems running various SuSE versions, some
now not supported by SuSE anymore.
There was a discussion on Slashdot where someone mentioned the
possibility of setting the MALLOC_CHECK_ variable (possible
values 0,1,2) with a slight performance penalty. Is this an
option for (older remote) systems where no update packages
will be supplied?
