These seem to me as two independent enhancements.  Am I correct in 
assuming that the automatic switch to non-move sbrk can be implemented 
independently of the non-move sbrk enhancements?

If so, is there something in the current design that should prevent 
adding the automatic switch in the most naive way (i.e., in all the cases 
you named just set the flag)?
