Review request for Asterisk Developers.


Changes
-------

Changing to use memalign and mprotect, in order to gain read faults.


Summary
-------

MALLOC_HOLD is an optional compile-time definition used to detect memory corruption.  It does this in a similar way to valgrind, although it does not slow down Asterisk appreciably (although the memory will grow somewhat larger than normal).


Diffs (updated)
-----

  /branches/1.4/main/config.c 208082 

Diff: https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/309/diff


Testing
-------

Extensive testing with an idle system.  (While this sounds like an oxymoron, because this is dealing with memory management, there are a ton of memory requests merely during startup routines.  Also, idle for me means 'not heavy load' but did include testing with several active IAX2 calls.)


Thanks,

Tilghman
