Address Space Randomization (/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space) is set to zero on my machine now. But the malloc'd address dump does vary..As I commented earlier, the address space layout is the same (pmap dump). Is there something missing?
The behavior is deterministic if you have address space randomization turned off and the program behavior is not influenced by any non-deterministic source (timers, signal delivery, dependency on thread scheduling order, etc). Could you please provide the source code which illustrates your situation?

The program I am using is this one - http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/CINT2000/253.perlbmk/docs/253.perlbmk.txt I am checking; there should be some non-deterministic source as you said (the randomizer, or timedate usage). Sorry for having shooted the mail without double-checking the source-code. Thanks!
