I really like this solution, because it leaves mem_alloc_tiny (which is
complex enough as it is) unchanged.

May be even better is to do this in memory.h directly:

#if DEBUG
/* turn mem_alloc_tiny() into a normal alloc,
 * to better track problems.
 */
#define MEM_ALLOC_SIZE			0
#else
#define MEM_ALLOC_SIZE			0x10000
