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.
