efence does this, if you use the correct option.  I produced an URL in
an earlier message in this thread.

BTW: Would it be an idea to add some form of optional loop checking
(or possibly even a full invariant) to phkmalloc, if it isn't there
already?  Both double-linked and single-linked lists are trivial to
check for loops, at least.
