test coverage statistics

[Ezra Peisach]

At one time - I modified valgrind to add a new function that would allow 
one to indicate how many mallocs before returning null... This was 
useful to iterate on the t_cc tests where it would set it to 2000 
mallocs, run the tests, reduce by one, run again, etc. - and see if 
could get down to one...  I fixed a number of failure cases that way.

I think I submitted it to the valgrind developers and will see if I can 
dig it up - but this could be one way
for testing the various failure cases - or some other controlled malloc 
failure case.  It would definitely test
error paths...
