Subject: Re: Bug in delayed allocation: really bad block layouts!

P.S.  Please excuse the subject line; when I was first writing up the
e-mail, I thought the issue was caused by a bug with how delayed
allocation when under memory pressure interacted with mballoc().
Subsequent tests showed my initial theory was incorrect, and I fixed
the text of my e-mail, but not the subject line....
