Subject:   does phkmalloc check bounds?

Without having looked at phkmalloc - where is it hidden in the
source tree BTW - I wonder if it does bounds checking, that is
allocate a bit more on every malloc, initialize the extra bytes
with a magic pattern and see if it is invalidated next time
an alloc routine is entered.
