} That freeheap() is discarding a heap that is still in use.

Patch below seems to do the trick.  The bug is a consequence of my change
in workers/29175, and it's only tickled if heap memory is allocated and
re-allocated in chunks of a certain size (because if I repeat Frank's
steps using longer lines at each PS2 prompt, it doesn't happen).

I imagine Peter is getting rather tired of crash bugs getting found and
fixed only days after he does a release.
