+/* let's not be adventurous */ +#define SYSTEM_MALLOC 1 Why is that a good idea? Isn't it better to use gmalloc and ralloc? That should make an Emacs whose memory footprint does not grow that much, I think. What is so ``adventurous'' in using that?
I recompiled emacs 21.2 under Cygwin without SYSTEM_MALLOC, and it appears to work just fine. Under Windows NT, at least -- I'll let you know if the released version gets complaints from users of other versions of Windows. Joe Buehler
