I thing I reported this back when I found it but in case I didn't:
emacs would quickly complain about running out of memory and core dump on
amd64 systems on NetBSD. Problem was tracked down to a bug in ralloc.c that
caused a negative number intended to be an argument to sbrk() to reduce the
break to be treated as a large positive one (because of wrong sized object
being passed on the stack).
Below patch fixes:
- --- src/ralloc.c.orig 2001-02-20 01:19:40.000000000 +1300
+++ src/ralloc.c
@@ -328,7 +328,7 @@ static void
relinquish ()
{
register heap_ptr h;
- - int excess = 0;
+ long excess = 0;
/* Add the amount of space beyond break_value
in all heaps which have extend beyond break_value at all. */
cheers
mark
