Occasionally, the test fails. We need to backport this upstream change: commit 265cbed8e73b23e3b38ada6cc42482c53a216224 Author: James Lemke <jwlemke> Date: Tue May 19 12:10:26 2015 -0700 Fix for test "malloc_usable_size: expected 7 but got 11" [BZ #17581] The checking chain of unused chunks was terminated by a hash of the block pointer, which was sometimes confused with the chunk length byte. We now avoid using a length byte equal to the magic byte. (NB: A first fix was reverted.)
