Does anyone know of ANY programs that play funny games with the memory
allocation and free lists that cause valid holes in memory?

I was considering hacking up a memory list audit that monitors the lists
and attempts to correct them when block of memory becomes "lost".

Specifically, I need to know if there are any reasons why there would be
valid holes in the lists between the bottom and the top of the user program
memory. It doesn't seem that there should be but then things aren't always
as they seem.

I noticed using gemmem that there is ~60K missing upon booting.
