[Bug 1123588] Re: wrong usage of the `malloc' function attribute

[James Hunt]

Scott is right - the description of this attribute *has* changed.
Compare the current description to:

http://web.archive.org/web/20060824111504/http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc
/Function-Attributes.html

Hence, either the attribute used to be incorrectly described and we were
just lucky not to see any issues until now, or the meaning of this
attribute has been changed by the gcc folk since it was introduced.

  seen with -21ubuntu1, not with -20ubuntu1, reverting the fix for
  PR53844 avoids the issue.

  I think we need a reproducer in upstart, which doesn't just hang.
