A straight malloc() icount may not help much. Is it possible we can have the number of unbalanced malloc()? That is icount of malloc() minus icount of free(). of course, it is not directly related to this PR.

That count is not the invocation counter (which can be useful too under certain conditions) but the number of outstanding allocations.
