"g_mem_chunk_new()" doesn't allocate a single chunk of memory that's
used for all allocations, and that, when exhausted, leaves you unable to
allocate more memory; "area_size" is, to quote

	http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/glib/glib-memory-chunks.html

"the size, in bytes, of *each* block of memory allocated to contain the
atoms" (emphasis mine).  New chunks are allocated as necessary.
