--- Comment #8 from Mel Gorman
One way of testing would be to force the installer to globally set MALLOC_CHECK_=2 during installation and see does that "fix" it. I don't know how to setup a temporary installation environment like that but some of the yast people should.
Sure :-)
Simply use a boot parameter MALLOC_CHECK_=2 and the installer will export it to the environment, producing the desired result. It seems even PID 1 has it.
All righty Martin, thanks. Dominique, I know these are dumb questions but I never deal with the installer and just want to push this along so we don't get burned in the future when glibc updates again. Is there still an ISO image available that freezes during install? I can at least download it and see if MALLOC_CHECK_=2 "fixes" it. That would at least indicate that something in the installer has an uninitialised memory bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
