[parisc-linux] malloc limits

It's the address of the next contiguous chunk.  This is roughly the sum
of the address plus the size of the chunk to be freed.  The segv occurs
loading the size of the next chunk using the address.

I haven't been successful debugging the code directly.  I can get the
code to seg fault by setting SIG37 to nostop noprint, but the debugger
seems to think the fault occurs following the INLINE_SYSCALL in
__sigsuspend.  However, the address points to an ldi instruction
which can't seg fault, so I don't know what's up.  The data that
I posted were from a core dump.
