------- Comment #2 from Wim Taymans  2009-06-01 16:03 UTC -------
no ref is kept to the last allocated buffer, I guess you can have false
positives if the buffer is deleted and a buffer is allocated that happens to
have the same memory.

One of the ideas I had back in the days was to keep track of the proxy alloc
buffers by making a subclass of them, but that did not seem to be working so
well because of the subbuffer/subclassing limitations.

I guess we also don't really want to keep a ref to the alloc buffer to avoid
keeping it around longer than needed. We also can't install a custom free
function that invalidates the pointer we keep to the buffer because there is no
room for user data.

So, I don't know.
