Browse Source 
The tunable will not work with *any* non-zero tunable value since its
list of allowed values is 0-3.  Fix the documentation to reflect that.

Another possibility to check for and guard against bugs in the use of
@code{malloc}, @code{realloc} and @code{free} is to set the environment
variable @code{MALLOC_CHECK_}. When @code{MALLOC_CHECK_} is set to a
non-zero value, a special (less efficient) implementation is used which
is designed to be tolerant against simple errors, such as double calls
of @code{free} with the same argument, or overruns of a single byte
(off-by-one bugs). Not all such errors can be protected against,
however, and memory leaks can result.

Any detected heap corruption results in immediate termination of the
