    libstand - Fix excessive memory use by hammer2 module
    
    * Don't try to dynamically allocate 64KB for each open file.  Just use
      the same static media buffer that normal operations use.
    
      This fixes some severe heap fragmentation and out-of-memory issues
      when a lot (20+) modules are specified in /boot/loader.conf that
      can cause the boot loader to fail.
    
    * Add getheap() to retrieve heap stats.
