[ Reason ]
Depending on the configuration and the host (not clear what host
condition trigger the issue), samhain segfaults on startup. It has been
tracked as an issue dnmalloc, the samhain memory allocator, when
"recent" GCC versions are used.

[ Impact ]
samhain is unusable on the affects hosts / configurations.

[ Tests ]
There is no automated test for the code. That said I have reproduced the
issue on an affected system using the provided configuration file in
#1111631 and checked that the issue is correctly fixed with the change.

[ Risks ]
The risk of disabling the dnmalloc allocator is quite low, the well
tested glibc memory allocator is used instead. This is the one used on
non-amd64 and non-i386 builds, and samhain works fine on these
architectures.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
The only change is to unconditionally disable the dnmalloc memory
allocator (it was enabled only on amd64 and i386) to workaround the
issue. The same commit of the forky/sid version is used directly.

[ Other info ]
I have already uploaded the package to the archive. Thanks for
considering.
