Summary: Alternative malloc() implementation
Description:
This package contains experimental alternative to glibc
implementation of malloc() which is prone to heap fragmentation
due to use of deprecated brk() syscall; one might find it useful
to reduce e.g. Firefox memory consumption (though reportedly
won't work with e.g. Emacs).
Use openbsd-malloc some-program to run some-program this way.
NB: this package will hopefully get obsolete with glibc 2.6+
