I may be misunderstanding the code too, but I don't think your fix to 
aligned_alloc is quite right.  If adj == 0 in line 1596, then we've 
allocated much more memory than we needed, and the next call to malloc 
(line 1602) allocates even more.  And if adj == 1 in line 1596, then 
we've allocated exactly as much memory as we needed, so there's no need 
to call malloc again in line 1602.
