Hi Matthias,

It has minimal impact on program speed.  It's quick and easy to use to get 
a summary of what's going on.

It's code that I have and use periodically.  I thought it'd be useful to 
have it as part of bogofilter, rather than patch it in whenever I want to 
use it.

I suspect that valgrind and dmalloc are more complex and more 
capable.  This is lightweight and easier to use (at least for me).
