@@ -28,6 +28,8 @@ version. Versions older than this will not work properly; too-new
versions introduce new code that does not work well with perftools
(because libunwind can call malloc, which will lead to deadlock).
+There have been reports of crashes with libunwind 0.99 (see
+http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/issues/detail?id=374).
Alternately, you can use a more recent libunwind (e.g. 1.0.1) at the
cost of adding a bit of boilerplate to your code. For details, see
