This was one of Rickards pet project and I suspect that the memory 
tracer hasn't been subject to major updates since launch of smp.

It is not used, not documented, and not rigorously tested. The memory 
tracer should be removed IMHO (, or otherwise corrected). Rickard, opinions?

I first recalled, incorrectly, that this was an opt-in configurable 
tracer, but I see now that isn't the case. Does this break through 
testcases or plain usage?
