Well... This is weird.
It seems that memory fragmentation is really really killing us here.
The fact that the Google allocator did manage to waste quite less memory
is a good indicator already.
Maybe an malloc/free/mmap wrapper that records the requested sizes and
alloc/free order and dumps them to file so that one can make a compact
git-free standalone test case for the glibc maintainers might be a good
thing.
