> I see the same block Andrew sees using vmmap and I wonder what buffer is attached to it.

You can find that out by running under a debugger and placing a
conditional breakpoint where we allocate memory for buffers.

> Also vmmap reports a 4k block committed at 0x1F0000. If I ask vmmap to display free/unusable blocks,
> it reports 0x1F1000 as unusable, size 60k and committed 60k. The problem is that the first block has been

You mean, instead of reserving NBYTES or 2 * NBYTES, round it up to an
integral number of 64KB chunks?
