Since tsdgeos asked, I measured with massif the memory consumption of
kmimetypetest before and after this change, and it shows an increase of 47 KB.
I think that's okay.
This showed me that the KDebug hash of area codes also takes around 40-50 KB,
which reminds me that I want to replace it with dynamic allocation by the apps,
which should not only make this more flexible than editing kdebug.areas, but
also claim that amount of memory back :-)
