The mallinfo() API was discussed on libc-alpha recently, and the
conclusion was that the info provided do not really match the
current implementation. It apparently was part of SysV, but has
been dropped from later version of the unix standard. It should
probably be removed and replaced with a better API. The current API
do not handle large amount of memory and isn't working very well
in 64bit environments.
