 @item M_MMAP_THRESHOLD
 All chunks larger than this value are allocated outside the normal
 heap, using the @code{mmap} system call.  This way it is guaranteed
 that the memory for these chunks can be returned to the system on
 @code{free}.  Note that requests smaller than this threshold might still
 be allocated via @code{mmap}.
