My only concern is that it appears that the 'inappropriate' use is
something that has (for better or worse, and I know there have been
strong feelings about this in the past) been quite a useful programming
idiom in Samba4.

Otherwise, this looks like a really neat trick, even if it starts down
the process of running our own malloc...  I presume it would also make
valgrind memory tracking a little harder to figure out.
