Comment:
Fixed in r5298, which included the attached patch.
memalign doesn't try to allocate at least 100 units of memory (which meant
400kb for 4kb of 4kb-aligned memory.
It only allocates at least a kilobyte of data, which should match most use
cases: For more common 16byte requests, 1kb is allocated and pooled for
16byte requests, for relatively rare 4kb requests, 4kb is allocated (as
it's already >1kb)
