Subject: (diff_init): Don't use valloc; on older or buggy hosts, you can't
X-Git-Url: https://git.brokenzipper.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6869d0f6b38a0cef2f04ad1792ce5ff61e314b15;p=chaz%2Ftar

(diff_init): Don't use valloc; on older or buggy hosts, you can't
free the result.  Use page_aligned_alloc instead.
