[Bug libc/10560] [PATCH] Avoid malloc deadlocks in assert() and friends


------- Additional Comments From drepper at redhat dot com  2009-08-31 11:46 -------
The reason malloc is used is so that in case you see a core file but no console
output you know what was going on.  Using the stack memory is not sufficient in
this case.  The __abort_msg variable was deliberately introduced and is visible
to the debugger and other tools.
