Description
We've had a number of really nasty rr bugs due to subtle interactions with jemalloc. #721 should hopefully make all that go away, but it would be great to ensure that by adding a third test run with jemalloc or another similarly complex allocator. Marking 1.0 to see if this is easy to do, but #721 may eliminate these interactions and lower the priority of this below 1.0.
