[ast-developers] VMALLOC_OPTIONS='abort' no longer calling abort() on heap corruption?

[Lionel Cons]

A colleague is asking: Is VMALLOC_OPTIONS='abort' no longer calling
abort() on heap corruption when libast::free() is passed a pointer
which does not originate from libast::malloc()/calloc()?

libast version is ast-ksh.2013-05-24
