Actually it should probably be called a "heap profiler" rather than
a memory profiler, since it only profiles heap usage, not stack usage.

It would be good if we could plug these values for
words (or cells) allocated by procedure into the existing
Mercury call-graph profiler.  Doing this should be fairly simple --
just put these figures in the Prof.Calls file, so that we
profile memory allocations rather than SIGPROF timer ticks.
