At last!
  I have got g++-1.39 and libg++-1.39 installed on our Sparc2 (4.1.1) and
our 4D/20 iris (3.1d). In both cases a proper malloc is important and the 
GNU malloc should not be used (i.e. define NO_LIBGXX_MALLOC in the libg++ 
Makefile).

Here is the problem:

1. If I use the GNU malloc both the iris and sun g++ give me a clobbered
space detected error when running some c++ programs written by a colleague.
The Sun passes make tests; the iris doesn't. If I use the system malloc then
there is no core dump for the Sun g++ but I get a segmentation fault for the
iris g++. dbx indicates that the fault occurred during the malloc call. In 
fact this is one of the reasons the iris g++ fails the make tests.

Does that mean that the system malloc on the iris isn't up to scratch?
Or is there still a definite problem with g++ on an iris (mips) ?

(BTW I have tried the OSF version of gcc and g++ but it has the same
problem)

If you have any ideas I'm all eyes!
