Thanks for the reply osunderdog.

How did you revert to using the OS's alloc functions?

    To see what you're using now:
    use Config qw|config_vars|; print "Using Perl Malloc? "; config_vars('usemymalloc'); print "\n";
    I just ran through the perl configure and here is the salient question:
    Do you wish to attempt to use the malloc that comes with perl5? [n]

    "Look, Shiny Things!" is not a better business strategy than compatibility and reuse.
