Here is a theory that might explain the symptom.
Presume malloc requests 16meg on the first sbrk.
It fails because that exceeds 10meg. The address
space has been constrained to 10meg. malloc
should do a little homework before returning NULL,
especially given that this is a first call to malloc.
If that is the problem, then that is a malloc bug.
