Emacs and electric fence?

[Ken Raeburn]

Has anyone tried to get Emacs working with the Electric Fence package
(the poor man's Purify)?  I started trying it while working on an
Emacs or Xlib bug I ran into (see my "possible Xlib problem" email
from 6 Mar), but it appears that on my system it allocates memory from
a different part of the address space than normal malloc, and thus all
the XPNTR-based macros break, pure storage handling gets weird, etc.
Has anyone already got patches to work around this?  (I'm on
i686-pc-linux-gnu.)
