If you notice, that's not really a man page. There is an
association to the mallopt man page, which you can confirm with
`apropos malloc_stats' that shows
mallopt (3) - set memory allocation parameters
Now, run `whereis mallopt`
mallopt: /usr/share/man/man3/mallopt.3.gz
If you open that file in Emacs (no decompress needed), make a
search for "malloc_stats". There are no hits! So, how that
association is setup beats me, and, as you discovered, it beats
WoMan to :)
But I'm sure someone on the list knows this.
By the way, this is very interesting! *Keep digging!*
