malloc hook LD_PRELOAD experiment - not to be taken seriously.

Usage

The following should be enough to compile and witness the breakage (before reaching main):

$> make
$> LD_PRELOAD=./malloc.so /bin/ls -l > dump

The > dump may not include the most crucial last printed lines. I presume to do with cache not being flushed appropriately.

Disclaimer

Nothing untoward should happen from running this code, but use at your own risk.
