gcc 2.96, libstdc++ v3 and efence

[Maurizio Umberto Puxeddu]

This a testcase that trigger the bug without using efence (at least I
think it is the same bug):

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

void *
operator new(size_t m)
{
#ifdef PRINT_MESSAGE
  std::cout << "new" << std::endl;
#endif
  return malloc(m);
}

void
operator delete(void *p)
{
#ifdef PRINT_MESSAGE
  std::cout << "delete" << std::endl;
#endif
  free(p);
}

int
main(void)
{

  int *p = new int;
  delete [] p;

  return 0;
}

If I enable cout messages inside the new and delete operators the
program will segfault with this stack trace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Hope this helps.
