Both the system malloc and the ralloc.c-supplied malloc are available, and both are used: Emacs uses the ralloc version and library functions like XFreeFontNames use the system malloc. This mixture of system and ralloc-supplied malloc might be causing Gilles's problem, which is partly why I suggested that he build with the system malloc only.
