This change looks safe to me. I was just not sure that it is enough for 
practical cases. What if after allocating a large buffer the rest of the new 
area would be used for allocating small buffers? They can keep references to 
the large area after freeing the large buffer. Perhaps it is worth to block 
marking the remainder of a large area available. This will increase the memory 
consumption by small percent, but will reduce the risk of prolonging the life 
time of large blocks.
