     - Be even more aggressive about releasing RAM from small
       empty buffers. Thanks to our free-list code, this shouldn't be too
       performance-intensive.
+    - Disable sentiel-based debugging for buffer code: we squashed all
+      the bugs that this was supposed to detect a long time ago, and
+      now its only effect is to change our buffer sizes from nice
+      powers of two (which platform mallocs tend to like) to values
+      siightly over powers of two (which make some platform mallocs sad).
