OK, can you reset dired.c, regex.c and search.c to their state as of commit 5a26c9b0e1b0d9a2de35e0a8b0a803017e70def0 instead? This is one commit before Noam made his changes. > I'm happy to keep being guinea pig so you can fix this, but as a > workaround so that I can have a more stable Emacs to get my main work > done, is there a way for me to force the use of a less jumpy malloc > implementation? Apart from downgrading to an older glibc version, I'm not aware of any way. > It sounds like whatever happened in ArchLinux has meant that Emacs > now prefers ralloc whereas previously it may not. Yes, I think so. But we cannot ask users to not upgrade to newer glibc, so we must solve these problems somehow. If you can afford being a guinea pig for a little bit longer, I'd appreciate that, as otherwise I don't know how to proceed with this bug. Other people are also seeing similar problems, e.g., see https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=24772#11 Thanks.
