I didn't explicit tried the new (f)malloc. I siply came to this,
as I tested the alpha libc. Then I got everytime the segfaults
because of the bugs in malloc.c dealing with not testing the
given ptr in realloc for NULL (and I very often use the behaviour
of realloc(NULL, size) ). So I applied the posted patches to
malloc.c and fmalloc.c and then I replaced the object files in libc
via

ar r libc.a fmalloc.o malloc.o

without checking before, that the fmalloc.o wasn't yet in the libc.
So I had now the fmalloc.o before the malloc.o and came to the
new bug since now fmalloc.o is used instead of malloc.o.
