# It's totally sane with the standard copying allocator. But the malloc

# So, when you reuse the header, the old bufstart which was

# is unmanaged and leaks.
Can we add a way to explicitly free the memory associated with a buffer
without freeing the header? That seems like it could be useful in other
areas too (although I'm not quite sure where).

Wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in
New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. And radio operates
exactly the same way. The only difference is that there is no cat.
