Mozilla on MacOS crashes with stack trace implicating plarena.c in NSPR. 
Examination of memory shows 'avail' greater than 'limit' in the arena header. 
The bug shows up only on Mac; Windows and Unix platforms do not seem to fail.

At NSPR 4.1.1, a change to plarena.c that made the arena allocator a bit more 
readable appears to have introduced this bug.

Patch is checked in on the tip-of-tree.


    
    

    
  
It would be a good idea to check in the fix on the
NSPRPUB_RELEASE_4_1_BRANCH as well so that it will
be included in the next NSPR 4.1.x patch release.

This bug alone does not necessitate a 4.1.x patch
release though.

    
    

    
  
checked in to NSPRPUB_RELEASE_4_1_BRANCH.


    
    

    
  
Marking fixed.
