  Is it me or is topline not updated when I free something?
  I was concerned that my program seemed to be taking 3 times as much 
memory as it should, so I traced through it to make sure it was calling 
free.  It was, but topline didn't change.
  This is how my program seems to go:

  malloc 230k      - topline goes up 475k
  free 50k         - topline stays where it is
  malloc 77k       - topline goes up 120k
  free 77k         - topline stays where it is

  Obviously at least some of this is still my fault.  But I was _there_
when it free'ed memory - I _saw_ it happen... and topline didn't do
anything at all.  It just sat there, letting all this innocent memory get 
massacred.  How can I stand by and watch this atrocity?  Please, someone, 
help me end this!
