Instead of optimising freeheap for the case where the are lots of
heaps, could we just increase HEAPSIZE? It's only 16384 (minus a
header), which seems pretty small to me.
Or could we make it a variable, so the more memory you acquire the
larger it is? Then if you need a lot of memory you're not constantly
allocating it in small chunks.
