Actually, gstein has a much better method.

Get this:

  * create a 2nd pool in each trail called 'scratchpool'.

  * make sure that commit_trail() frees trail->scratchpool.

  * now slowly, leisurely, teach each dag function to use
    trail->scratchpool for temporary work, and trail->pool for
    return-data.

This allows us to incrementally improve our memory usage, by rewriting
dag routines one-at-a-time.... very carefully.

*This* solution makes mine eyes cry with joy. :-)
