+	  The value of MALLOC_DEBUG should be an integer, which is interpreted as
+	  a bitmask with the following bits:
+		  1   -  do extra consistency checking
+		  2   -  output messages for malloc/free calls and OS allocation calls
+		  4   -  output messages for the `MMB' layer
+		  8   -  output messages for internal malloc heap manipulation calls
