I took a look at ralloc.c a bit, and I thought that the variable
`use_relocatable_buffers' is not designed to be changed temporarily in
the first place.

I think we should use r_alloc_freeze/r_alloc_thaw instead of
r_alloc_inhibit_buffer_relocation calls.  In that case, we have to
estimate how much memory can be malloc'ed while the relocation is
frozen, so that we can pass an appropriate number to r_alloc_freeze.
