I found a very interesting issue.

Let's consider a software package based on vsftp. It also uses GD, cUrl and mysql with default install, and a mysqlpp build out of sources. After adding Core to the build package, I export a makefile, make an run without problems under an openSuse 11. Under Fedora Core 8 a rather ugly section of code from vsftp fails some check based on witting to a socket and comparing the number of written bytes to a sizeof. If I comment the code using Core it still fails. If i remove the Core package it builds and executes correctly.

Any idea what could cause this? I tried using #define flagUSEMALLOC early in Core.h, but since the program fails even without including Core.h, that had little chance to work.
