Robert Clausecker 2b5f8dcd61 Workaround double free problems 
The source code for handling images has a double free problem. Recent versions
of the GNU libc have a mechanism to automagically abort the program in such a
case. This causes Mosaic to crash if images are displayed.

I work around this issue by turning of automatical program abortion with a call
to mallopt().
