When jemalloc is used as a libc malloc replacement (i.e. not prefixed), some particular setups may end up inconsistently calling malloc from libc and free from jemalloc, or the other way around. glibc provides hooks to make its functions use alternative implementations. Use them. Submitted by Karl Tomlinson and Mike Hommey.
jemalloc is a general-purpose scalable concurrent malloc(3) implementation. This distribution is a stand-alone "portable" implementation that currently targets Linux and Apple OS X. jemalloc is included as the default allocator in the FreeBSD and NetBSD operating systems, and it is used by the Mozilla Firefox web browser on Microsoft Windows-related platforms. Depending on your needs, one of the other divergent versions may suit your needs better than this distribution. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install jemalloc. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. URL: http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/
