[Tfug] Malloc under Linux

[Brian Murphy]

Quoting Felix Tilley <fetilley at earthlink.net>:
> When you use the malloc function with Linux, is the memory space
> allocated when the program runs, or when the malloc function executes?
>
> I ask this because the free function does not appear to free any memory.

Also lookup the "copy on write" concept.
