So how do you return memory to the OS when you're using malloc()?
free() returns it to the malloc() memory pool, sure, but if you malloc()
persistent stuff after allocating temporary stuff, it's going to stay
on the edge of memory and you won't be able to shrink your memory
space without moving the memory and contents. How does one fix this,
regardless of whether it's a large evil proprietary company or a free
software project?
