Our testsuite should somehow set the G_SLICE=always-malloc environment variable
when valgrinding to ensure that memory allocations don't go through the slice
allocator.

When the slice allocator is used, it's impossible to track down memory leaks,
because they just appear somewhere in the middle of a grouped allocation.
