there was a report on irc that this change in memalign has falsepositives:

-       if (len > SIZE_MAX - align) {
+       if (len > SIZE_MAX - align || free != __internal_free) {

in particular &free can point to a plt entry in the main executable
while &__internal_free is in libc.so so they compare unequal.
