Folks,
Don't sweat system malloc behaviour all that much at the moment. We are
going to be completely taking over memory allocation internally at some
point reasonably soon, so as long as what you do doesn't crash we should be
fine. (It's OK to leak at this point--either the GC system or the Big
Mallet of Programming Correctness will fix the problem... :)
