hmm...

mtrace reports the following lines in the ruby interpreter:

RUBY_CRITICAL(p = heaps[heaps_used++] =
    (RVALUE*)malloc(sizeof(RVALUE)*HEAP_SLOTS));
RUBY_CRITICAL(mem = malloc(size));
RUBY_CRITICAL(mem = realloc(ptr, size));

is it possible, that mtrace has problems with the
'RUBY_CRITICAL' prefix?
