Warnings

This is not super safe, may interfere with other allocations, ie. replacing vtable during running the code from the previous malloc will probably crash other threads.

Syntax

void SetAsGMalloc()

Remarks

Sets as GMalloc. This method locks to the thread that crashed. Any next calls to this method or GMalloc from other threads will dead-lock those threads, but this is ok, because we are shutting down. This also fixes a lot of potential issues of using dynamic allocation during crash dumping.
