Subject: (jm_FUNC_MALLOC): Change the `checking ...' message
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a7d1294b6f5cb5ff479e99ae2d079f50d03afe7a;p=pspp

(jm_FUNC_MALLOC): Change the `checking ...' message
to be more precise.  Rather than saying we're checking whether the
function `works', say what we're testing.
