Ugh.  I'm slightly torn.  On the one hand, it's probably possible to
fix sym_malloc.  On the other hand, it's really long past time that
sym2 dropped its custom allocator and started using dma pools.

I'll take a look at converting to dma pools once I've got half a dozen
other projects that're higher priority out of the way ;-(

In any case thanks for the report.
