* \internal
* \brief Attempt to reclaim unused heap memory.
*
* Users have reported that asterisk will sometimes be killed because it can't allocate
* more than around 3G of memory on a 32 bit system.
*
* Using malloc_trim() will help us to determine if it's because there's a leak or because
* the heap is so fragmented that there isn't enough contiguous memory available.
*
* \note malloc_trim() is a GNU extension and is therefore not portable.
