And now I think I know why:  the X server _was_ using an
oddball malloc.  It seems about the time I started using the
PS/2 mouse, I rebuilt the X server to use gnumalloc, then
renamed this other malloc to trick the server into using it
instead.  This malloc later was found to have a bug, but by
then I'd forgotten about the server, so I never gave it the
fixed malloc, even, let alone its own malloc back.

What a relief.  That status bit thing never quite made sense.
