Hi Kostik,

It seems I don't understand how it works.

Here is a test program: http://maxim.int.ru/stuff/malloc_test.c.txt

It allocates successfully 64x1MB chunks by malloc(), reallocf() and
realloc() with the following command line:

MALLOC_OPTIONS=JM limits -d 10m ./malloc_test

When we add L flag to the MALLOC_OPTIONS it starts to work strange:

It allocates 64MB via malloc() but fails to allocate more than 3MB by
realloc() and reallocf().

More funny, the result varies from time to time:

$ MALLOC_OPTIONS=JML limits -d 10m ./malloc_test | head
RLIMIT_DATA: rlim_cur is 10485760, rlim_max is 10485760
1th allocation failed
2th allocation failed
3th allocation failed
4th allocation failed
5th allocation failed
6th allocation failed
7th allocation failed

It's today -current with your patch.
