I believe that any info which could be a string or "..._from" in the
constructor is going to display this behavior (e.g. abstract_from for
META.yml) because of the way the build notes support works.
It probably *should* pick-up on the change, but I think that means
having more dependency targets (a lot of I/O churn on every action?) or
adding checks in distmeta, etc.
So, I don't think it is exactly intended, but that is how it is.

So malloc calls a timeout and starts rummaging around the free chain,
sorting things out, and merging adjacent small free blocks into larger
blocks. This takes 3 1/2 days.
