#include <mcheck.c>, put mtrace() and muntrace() around the code in main()
in vl.c
export MALLOC_TRACE=/some/file
then run qemu with your usual options. After powering off the guest,
run "mtrace /path/to/qemu-binary /some/file" - it's a perl script that makes
the output more human readable.
It's a little tricky, though - remember that it will see most allocations
occurring in qemu-malloc.c - it only traces explicit glibc malloc() calls.
