I'll try :) Here's a small diff against CVS version of stl_alloc which 
adds a malloc (sizeof ()) call to one of __pool_alloc's methods:

Index: stl_alloc.h
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/gcc/gcc/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/stl_alloc.h,v
retrieving revision 1.31
diff -r1.31 stl_alloc.h

Here's the "testapplication" used:
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  vector<int> v1;

  v1.push_back (1);

  return 0;
}

This causes an internal compiler error: stl_alloc.h:425: internal 
compiler error: Segmentation fault

For reference, the compiler used is:
Reading specs from 
/root/projects/alloc/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/specs
Configured with: ../gcc/configure --prefix=/root/projects/alloc/local 
--enable-threads
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4 20030202 (experimental)

What am I missing here?
