Thanks to Matthew Riley who noticed this issue and provided the initial proposal for the fix.

There's a bug in the new allocator<T> implementation used by wasteful_vector.  It inherits the base class' implementation of allocator and doesn't implement allocate() so it goes to the heap instead of the PageAllocator -- the very thing wasteful_vector was trying to avoid!  As a side effect it was also leaking heap memory.

Thanks,
-Ivan
