Michael and Robert, thanks for working on this bug, but I have one request.

Can you please create the simplest code (say, one C++ file using Qt includes)
which deliberately "leaks" memory using the same memory allocation/free as it's
done in "old" Konsole from KDE 4? So, this code in its basic code just
allocates say 250000 random sized objects then frees them, then we see that
memory is *not* returned to the underlying OS.

I think Qt developers *should* know about this problem, because I suspect there
can be other places where Qt "leaks" memory the same way, and there could be
other applications which suffer from this Qt/glibc bug/feature/problem.
