Thank you.

    As for the issue on the hook variables such as __malloc_hook, it will
    work at least as well as glibc malloc.  But neither is correct in a
    strict sense.

In practice, it is not crucial that this code be formally correct.
It is enough that it operate correctly on the platforms it is used on.

There are not very many modern platforms any more, and some of them
don't use gmalloc.  Would people like to check the modern platforms
and verify that there is not really any problem?
