Merci! :-)

I think it would be best to compile with debugging (no optimization),
full error checking and "system" malloc -- so purify can replace it
with its own version, hopefully.

The linking line in src/Makefile should look like this:

temacs: $(temacs_deps)
	$(LD) $(temacs_link_args)

Add `purify' before $(LD), and use `make temacs' to build a purified
temacs.  Don't try to dump it, as a purified xemacs won't work.  To
try the beast, start it up with `temacs -l loadup', and enjoy
gigabytes of purify output.  Hopefully, we'll be able to sort it out
somehow.

I made a quick glance at Linux kernel sources with the same result.
Do you feel better now?  Ha?  ;-)
