Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] Remove upper limit on tunable MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD

DJ, does your final comments mean this patch is
OK to commit?
I should say that I intend to also change HEAP_MAX to be
a tunable to handle the issues we discussed as a separate
patch. It does not look to be time consuming. I just
can't predict when I'll have it ready because it's behind
a couple of other things in my task list and I can't
predict what new work tasks might cause further delays.
