[xmonad] Just a quesion about an old glibc issue

[Brandon Allbery]

Haskell doesn't use `glibc` (or any other libc) `malloc`,it uses its own
heap which is managed separately. Even Haskell's `malloc` (used with FFI)
uses Haskell's heap; it allocates a "pinned" block that can't be moved but
can still be garbage collected. Any fragmentation issues would need to be
fixed in the garbage collector.
