no - the closest it gets is using the --disable-leaks configure option,
which tells it to discard some items that are normally allocated once
for efficiency.  The bulk of the allocations are "permanent", and (until
my changes to buffering a year ago), some of that (setbuf) could only be
freed once - right before exit).
