The Scudo C unit tests are currently non-hermetic. In particular, adding
or removing a transfer batch is a global state of the allocator that
persists between tests. This can cause flakiness in
ScudoWrappersCTest.MallInfo, because the creation or teardown of a batch
causes mallinfo's uordblks or fordblks to move up or down by the size of
a transfer batch on malloc/free.
It's my opinion that uordblks and fordblks should track the statistics
related to the user's malloc() and free() usage, and not the state of
the internal allocator structures. Thus, excluding the transfer batches
from stat collection does the trick and makes these tests pass.
