/* MALLOC_ALIGNMENT is the minimum alignment for malloc'ed chunks.  It
   must be a power of two at least 2 * SIZE_SZ, even on machines for
   which smaller alignments would suffice. It may be defined as larger
   than this though. Note however that code and data structures are
   optimized for the case of 8-byte alignment.  */
