-the line is the `new` that made the block. a double free prints and returns; it does not smash the block. `rt.memreport()` prints one line per recorded object that is still live, `leak: line 12 3 words`, and returns how many. the word count is the block's payload, which is a power-of-two chunk minus the 5 word header, not the size you asked for. the table holds 64 sites. freed blocks stay in it until the storage is reused, which is how a double free still knows the line. nothing here changes programs that never say `memdebug`.
