malloc could leak memory

In the unlikely case of failure of the sbrk() that attempts to align
the sbrk to a page boundary, we'd leak the whole chunk of memory
previously allocated. This patch corrects this problem, by leaving
the top of the heap misaligned and attempting to correct it next
time. I'm checking this in, approved by Jeff Johnston.
