Mike,

Thanks for the heads-up on this. Looking closer, there are a bunch of these
environment variables that are undocumented, and they're also closely related
to the mallopt() library function, which is also undocumented. I think it would
be best to document all of this stuff together, and best done on a mallopt(3)
page, rather that in the existing malloc(3). (And yes, the MALLOC_TRACE_ info
that is currently in mallopt(3) should probably also move to the to-be-created
mallopt(3) page.) I'll get onto this.

Thanks,

Michael
