Did you try reading the related section of etc/DEBUG?  (To avoid
praising proprietary packages, it doesn't mention Purify; the
section's name is "Running Emacs built with malloc debugging
packages".)

If your experience suggests that something in that section needs
updating, by all means please tell how to change the text.
