>Description:
	malloc is ignoring /etc/malloc.conf in -current (1.6U)
>How-To-Repeat:
	Simple check of 'A' options (should abort() instead of warn())

	# ln -s 'A' /etc/malloc.conf
	# ls -l /etc/malloc.conf
	lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1 Jul 23 00:27 /etc/malloc.conf -> A
	# set | grep MALLOC_OPTIONS
	# cat 123.cpp
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <malloc.h>

	main ()
	{
	int *a;
	a=(int*)1;
	free (a);
	printf ("Exiting\n");
	return 0;
	}

	# make 123
	c++ -O2   -o 123 123.cpp
	# ./123
	123 in free(): warning: malloc() has never been called.
	Exiting
