/* Bug 22375 reported a regression in malloc where if after malloc'ing then
   free'ing a small block of memory, malloc is then called with a really
   large size argument (close to SIZE_MAX): instead of returning NULL and
   setting errno to ENOMEM, malloc incorrectly returns the previously
   allocated block instead.  Bug 22343 reported a similar case where
   posix_memalign incorrectly returns successfully when called with an with
   a really large size argument.

   Both of these were caused by integer overflows in the allocator when it
   was trying to pad the requested size to allow for book-keeping or
   alignment.  This test guards against such bugs by repeatedly allocating
   and freeing small blocks of memory then trying to allocate various block
   sizes larger than the memory bus width of 64-bit targets, or almost
   as large as SIZE_MAX on 32-bit targets supported by glibc.  In each case,
   it verifies that such impossibly large allocations correctly fail.  */
