rt_malloc was a bare mmap-per-call wrapper: every allocation, even a 32-72B AST/symbol node, consumed a page-rounded 4KB region and was never freed. w6a/w6c emit ~4 such nodes per .s line, so assembling a 145K-line file burned ~625K pages (~2.5GB); test 995's 5 concurrent self-rebuilds then OOM'd. The defect is linear and str-independent -- the str->24B codegen merely enlarged .s files past the cliff. Replace it with the no-free SUBSET of Hare's allocator (ref/hare/rt/malloc.ha): 2MiB chunk-bump (CHUNKSZ malloc.ha:24, ALIGN malloc.ha:14), oversized (>CHUNKSZ) requests direct-mmap'd. The bin/freelist/META machinery exists only to support free, which ww does not have, so it is omitted. Policy lives in rt/malloc.ww; the raw mmap primitive stays in rt/alloc.s as rt_segmalloc -- Hare's malloc/segmalloc split. rt_free becomes a documented no-op (os.free re-exports it for the public API, so the symbol must stay); rt/ensure.ww drops its now-impossible reclaim. Zero-init is preserved: the bump never reuses memory, so every byte is fresh MAP_ANONYMOUS-zeroed. w6a_ww on a 145K-line .s: 2165MB -> 28MB (~glibc parity, C w6a 24MB). .o output byte-identical; both stages emit identical asm. make test 134/134.
