In addition to the other feedback you've gotten, I'll point out some
administrivia...

* Non-trivial patches require a copyright assignment before we can act
  on them (really, before we should even look at them).  The process is
  easy and we can help you though it, but it does take time.

* Patches should be against current master and use the latest
  conventions (like tunables) - at least, by the time you want them
  included.  2.23 is "ancient" for us and a lot has changed in the
  malloc code since then.  Your findings from that version may not be
  the same as findings against master.
