Hello.

Unfortunately, mimalloc2 appears to be useless on stock Alpine Linux,
causing repeated segmentation faults that crash Tor after a short time:

[74497.456152] tor[2942]: segfault at 2ba16010000 ip 00007f42d17d7da0 sp 00007f42cbf1b558 error 6 in libmimalloc-secure.so.2.2[15da0,7f42d17c6000+1f000] likely on CPU 0 (core 0, socket 0)
[74497.456168] Code: 49 f7 d9 48 31 f8 48 d3 c0 48 01 c8 49 89 01 48 8d 04 32 48 89 c2 48 8b 4f 38 48 33 47 40 49 89 f1 49 f7 d9 48 d3 c0 48 01 c8 <4a> 89 94 0a 49 39 d0 73 dc 48 8b 47 10 48 8b 4f 38 48 85 c0 48 0f

As this is occurring with mimalloc2 while mimalloc3 is the latest, and
considering mimalloc3 does not show such heavy memory savings, I'm not
going to be putting any effort into debugging this.

I'm trying out jemalloc now. If this can help reduce some of the high
memory pressure on this 512 MiB VPS, that would be very nice.

Regards,
forest
