[uClibc]malloc problem?

Ive been trying to track down a tinylogin su problem that started after I
grabbed the latest CVS two days ago (prior to that my uclibc was about 6
weeks old). I traced the problem and found that su would segfault inside
malloc() (malloc-930716/malloc.c).
The segfault would not happen in the MALLOC=malloc version of malloc. I
tried back-reving malloc to a many-months old version of the
MALLOC=malloc-930716, but I still get a segfault in malloc.
I dunno if this means malloc itself is broken, or tinylogin or uclibc is
broken somewhere else that hosed malloc, but Im a bit at a loss how to
debug this problem. Can anyone on the list suggest how I might approach
this, please?
Im on linux 2.4.18-mips, BTW.
(BTW, does gdb work with uclibc? Last time I tried to build gdb on my
platform it was a mess, and I havent tried since.)
Thanks,
Joseph
