A fellow here at work said he seems to have seen the message
"malloc(): recursive call" output while running the latest
version of kaffe.

This message always indicates a bug, usually the bug being that
somebody is calling malloc() from within a signal handler.

Is it possible that we are doing this? Because if we are then that's
a problem, as you're not guaranteed that malloc() is reentrant
(and under FreeBSD it's not).

Thanks,
-Archie
