Bug#350579: libc6: MALLOC_PERTURB_ -support is not enabled (= environment variable)

[Folkert van Heusden <folkert@vanheusden.com>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-6
Severity: normal


The MALLOC_PERTURB_ environment variable is normally checked by the
libc-variable. When it is set, malloced memory is pre-initialized with
the contents of MALLOC_PERTURB_ (so it must be a byte-value). This is
very usefull for testing software to see if that software properly
initializes memory before using it.
