+Subject: [PATCH] hexdump: fix segfault due to uninitialized memory
+
+util-linux commit 85bf44b714ab184907eb448eba389218956d6a51
+replaced all calls to emalloc() with xmalloc(), whose semantics
+is however different - it does not zero allocated memory. This
+made hexdump segfault if MALLOC_PERTURB_ was set.
