[orbitcpp-list] Re: digging a deeper and deeper hole

Hey phil,

further research into the SUN segfault fiasco:

1) It has nothing to do with the GHashtable stuff for registering
StubFactories (I didn't expect it to, but I'm running out of
ideas...).

2) I compiled the integertest with Bruce Perens' Electric Fence...and
instead of finding a memory violation, the program decided to execute
without a hitch.  So apparently replacing the system malloc with
Electric Fence's malloc makes it work.  Now does this mean that there
is something wrong with the system malloc (which sounds pretty
unlikely to me), or is there some bug that is obscured by other malloc
implementations, or some altogether different problem? I'll keep
digging....
