For me, it's easier to just use one library for everything. But I agree that if you're going to override, it's better to just override the malloc stuff. Steve Dunham <dunham@gdl.msu.edu> has done this, his precompiled version (from libc 5.4.7 code) is at http://lalaland.cl.msu.edu/~dunham/out/gnumalloc.so Use with a script like #!/bin/sh export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/gnumalloc.so exec /path/to/real/netscape $*
(Haven't tested this personally, but it should work.)
