Recently I tried to port GNU make 3.62 to the HP.  I defined -DUSG,
-DUSGr3, -DHPUX, -DHAVE_SYS_WAIT, and -DNO_LDAV; and I used alloca.c
from emacs-18.58.

The resulting executable worked fine with small makefiles, but dumped
core with large makefiles.  The stack trace indicated that make was
crashing inside malloc().

After playing around for quite a while, I linked in perl's malloc and
the executable started working.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?  What causes gmake and HP's
malloc() to interact so poorly?
