Something is seriously wrong with --disable-munmap (default on linux)

Hi,

Something is seriously wrong with --disable-munmap. What I see in
Firefox is that it seems free chunks are never reused, or seldomly: I
end up with a process sucking gigabytes of mapped memory, while jemalloc
claims it mapped 500M. On 32-bits system, that exhausts the address
space.
