| Description: | MPS AMC small nailed objects risk big retention by placement after big objects |
| Analysis: | RHSK 2008-05-01 BufferFill for very big object is rounded up, and this excess might then be used for a few small objects. This is bad strategy: if one of these small objects is nailed, it could retain the whole enormous segment. Very big objects should live on a segment by themselves. |
| How found: | inspection |
| Evidence: | thinking about the code See also [pads on heap] <http://info.ravenbrook.com/mail/2008/04/28/18-39-11/0.txt> and the discussion that followed. |
| Observed in: | 1.108.1 |
| Introduced in: | 1.100.0 |
| Test procedure: | none |
