Hmm, I would've thought that "peaking" was okay. I'm not sure, and I'm
just asking out of curiosty: if you malloc a 100MB and something else
has been added to the heap later, it might be possible that the heap
gets fragmented, and that might explain why it simply peaks. In my
original bug report, I said:

      "You can see the memory increasing, repeat this few times to observe that 
it is actually
      increasing and not getting freed."

specifically to rule out this possibility.
