No, it's the default setting.

But it seems to be related to me using MALLOC_CHECK_=2 in the
enviroment.  I thought I've set it to 0 to make sure it wasn't
related.  But trying to unset or set it to 0 now stops the segfault.

Also not that the check even with set to 3 it doesn't print any error
message.
