Title:
  Oxide library overrides malloc when it shouldn't

Status in Oxide:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When compiled without the experimental allocator shim or tcmalloc,
  Chromium overrides glibc's malloc symbols (via
  base/process/memory_linux.cc) with wrappers that abort on failure.
  This is undesirable for Oxide because it means we change the allocator
  behaviour for embedders linked against us.

  We only want this behaviour for child processes.
