I'm not sure doing so would be that easy because `bytes-malloced' follows a periodic distribution whose period is unknown (i.e., each call to `scm_take_locale_stringn ()' makes it slightly increase, and each mark/sweep sequence -- which is occurs roughly periodically -- changes it back to a much lower value).
