 * are usually 4 or 8 spare bytes respectively.  However, if allocation
 * is larger than about 128K, spare size may be up to one page: glibc aligns
 * sum of allocation and bookkeeping size to a page.  So if requirement
 * of the large allocation size is not strict it is better to allocate
 * with small cutback and then to adjust size with malloc_usable_size().
 * Glibc malloc_usable_size() is fast operation.
