+  Bug fixes:
+  - Fix ixallocx_prof_sample() to never modify nor create sampled small
+    allocations.  xallocx() is in general incapable of moving small allocations,
+    so this fix removes buggy code without loss of generality.

 * 4.0.1 (September 15, 2015)
 
   This is a bugfix release that is somewhat high risk due to the amount of
