While debugging a POSIX problem that probably has nothing to do with heaps, I
discovered that C programs apparently do an implicit HPCIGETVAR at startup for
the variables HP_PASCAL_MINIMUM_HEAP_BLOCK and HP_PASCAL_HEAP_DUMP.

Naturally these variables aren't mentioned anywhere in the HP ESC Technical
Knowledge Base.  ;-)

Does anybody know what those variables do?  The DUMP one sounds like it might
be useful for debugging purposes.
