There's a bug in the provided malloc function, if there's no heap
SPE mailbox has maximum depth of 4 messages
The depth of 4 messages for the spe in mailbox is not a bug, it's a simple hardware limitation (as you can read in this document: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduasst/stgv1r0/topic/com.ibm.iea.cbe/cbe/1.0/Programming/L3T2H1_40_DevelopingCodeForCellMailboxes.pdf).

Well if the spe is in isolation mode only code running on this particular spe can access it's LS.
