+** New configure option --enable-debug-malloc
+
+Include code for debugging of calls to scm_must_malloc/realloc/free.
+
+Checks that
+
+1. objects freed by scm_must_free has been mallocated by scm_must_malloc
+2. objects reallocated by scm_must_realloc has been allocated by
+   scm_must_malloc
+3. reallocated objects are reallocated with the same what string
+
+But, most importantly, it records the number of allocated objects of
+each kind.  This is useful when searching for memory leaks.
+
+A Guile compiled with this option provides the primitive
+`malloc-stats' which returns an alist with pairs of kind and the
+number of objects of that kind.
