I agree with throwing malloc_memories to the trashcan.  But I don't
think rb_newobj() can collect appropriate information.  Only
information it can know is number of object allocation, which is
already detected by free list exhaustion.  malloc_memories collect
information about size of memory chunks referred from objects.
