Well, Perl does have it's own malloc, which you can turn on if you compile Perl with the -Dusemymalloc.

    We tried Perls malloc - even worse problems than the GCC 2.95 malloc, which runs slow, but at least runs reliably to completion.

    We also tried upgrading GCC but then our MySQL connections would fail after several 10s of MB interaction with the MySQL server.
