/*
 * Notes:
 *
 * There is a memseg statically allocated in libtnfprobe.  This memory is
 * consumed by the internal and external probe control fucntions for
 * initial_final blocks, and compositions.
 *
 * There is no mechanism for freeing this memory; it is leaked.  This is
 * because the overhead involved to protect uses of old memory is too
 * high for probes.
 *
 * The target program internally allocates memory from the bottom edge of
 * the segment, and the external program allocates from the high edge of
 * the segment.
 *
 * The i_reqsz field is set by the internal memory allocation routine
 * while it is allocating.  If the external process happens to freeze the
 * target process while it is in the middle of an internal allocation the
 * i_reqsz field allows the external process to be extra conservative in
 * avoiding a memory collision.
