Try mem_summary set to 2 (2 should be the default once we test it a
little more).

It's good to have at least mem_summary=2 information, maybe that way more
people will cleanup on mod_destroy and we will be able to spot memleaks
easier (some code in the core, like the fixups part, needs also some
work).
