It would be fairly easy to do the exact same thing with glibc memory 
allocation callbacks (info glibc is your friend). But this is
 _                                         _
(_)_ __ ___  _ __ ___   ___ _ __  ___  ___| |_   _
| | '_ ` _ \| '_ ` _ \ / _ \ '_ \/ __|/ _ \ | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |  __/ | | \__ \  __/ | |_| |
|_|_| |_| |_|_| |_| |_|\___|_| |_|___/\___|_|\__, |
                                             |___/
memory-hungry. Every single allocation takes a full page (normally 4096 
bytes), plus another guard page after it.
