A long time ago A existed, not it is the default: if an inconsistency
is detected, malloc aborts.
While developing and for "sensitive" programs S is best. ssh and sshd
use it.
If S is too slow, any subset of CFJ might provide a middle ground.
Not using any flags is also pretty safe already compared to other
malloc implementations.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll stick with "s" for now and if its
unbearably slow I'll try others.
Thanks
Edgar
