(Get the code!)
I am not sure why this was marked as invalid. The discussion on the developer
list kind of stalled, but as far as I can see, the conclusion was that it isn't
as bad as it seems, most of that memory actually isn't being wasted, it's just
reported as such.
This issue still needs resolved because at the very least, it gives the
appearence that a lot of memory is being wasted, which can cause the casual user
to look at ubuntu and decide not to use it because it is "wasting tons of memory".
The tool chains on build daemons or wherever the problem is needs to be fixed so
as not to set the rediculous 1 MB alignment requirement.
