that is start_brk is 0
As far as I understood brk is the .bss section, that is unitialized data area,
am I right?
Not quite. It's normally the beginning of the heap, after the bss section.
That said, it looks like start_brk is a dead variable. It's written only by the
FLAT loader, and nothing at all reads it, except for this debugging dump.
The "real" value is the "brk" variable, which is indeed set to a plausible
looking value.

Thank you!! I really missed that.. I've always wondered where the heap was!
So brk and start_brk are the same .. the latter just being used
previously and now forgotten there?
Is there a heap end address? Is it possible to set it someway? It would
be really very helpful for me!!
Thank you again!
Best regards!
