You might find lines 783-973 of the leak checker code
<http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/eazel-tools/leak-checker/eazel-leak-checker
.c>  interesting.

This is an attempt to accomplish the same "turn off memory chunks and free
lists" thing with glib 1.X at runtime to make our leak checker work better.

Look at my versions of g_nodes_new and g_nodes_free, for example.
