Here's the explanation from the above comment:
(and NSS is the glibc's Name Service Switch not Network Security Services)

"
We currently do not support custom malloc() implementation in NSS due to our
patch to open NSS modules deep-bound (that is meant to protect the main process
from library namespace pollution by libraries the NSS module depends on - e.g.
Thunderbird depended on one kind of OpenLDAP library, while nss_ldap depended
on an entirely incompatible one). This causes the main process to use the
custom malloc(), but the NSS module to use the stock free().
