Hi,
In `libc/hurd/hurdmalloc.c:281' there is an assertion that is triggered
when SIZE has value ((1 << 31) - 1). Instead of assertion failure the
function must return 0. Here is a patch that checks SIZE in different way.
BTW I didn't compile neither the previous patched `hurdchdir.c' nor this
patched `hurdmalloc.c'. I'm not sure if the second test in the `if'
statement is completely correct (you know, c-casting, int < unsigned).
Regards
