Dave, I'm unfortunately not set up to do this kind of debugging ATM (heavy use of Cygwin for real work, and no other available machine, so can't play with heap_chunk_in_mb). That's why I appreciate your doing this. If you are interested in pursuing this later, it would be nice to find out how this behavior relates to the value of heap_chunk_in_mb.
