No! That would break anything that loads system libraries into Perl, like Authen::PAM, because you'd end up calling system malloc() followed by Perl free(), or the other way around. Please stop pretending this is a FreeBSD bug - it's a bug in Perl, which anally tries to conserve microscopic amounts of memory by growing strings in small increments instead of using the traditional (and far more efficient and elegant) 2n + 1 algorithm.
