To the tune of Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel:

    Hello malloc() my old friend,
    I've come for mem'ry once again,
    Because a pointer silently creeping,
    Filled buffer that I was keeping,
    And the signal that I trapped was a bus error.
    Didn't care.
    Because I still... have malloc()

    There were pages that I missed.
    My OS had sent them to disk.
    Try my best to not hit swap,
    Looking for data I could safely drop,
    I compressed some bits that I kept stored in place
    Freed some space.
    But then I still... used malloc().
