This reduces the likelihood of address space exhaustion on 32-bit
systems.

This resolves #350.

Disable virtual memory deallocation via munmap(2); instead keep track of
the virtual memory for later use. munmap() is disabled by default (i.e.
--disable-munmap is implied) on Linux, which has a quirk in its virtual
memory allocation algorithm that causes semi-permanent VM map holes under

Linux as well, it is not disabled by default due to the practical
possibility of address space exhaustion.
