[Chicken-users] confusion tracking down memory leak

I have a memory leak in a long-running program; I can easily provoke it.
(It's quite complex; too complex to post here.)

The program involves lots of FFI interfaces to Linux syscalls, and other
stuff.

The memory leak is *not* in Scheme; this is verified by the fact that
(memory-statistics) while it's running shows bounded memory consumption.

Yet the heap usage is growing without limit.  There's bad malloc going
on somewhere.  

Are there any convenient tools to try and figure out malloc usage in
Chicken Scheme?
