There was a minor problem with the OPAM repo: you have to name the compiler
with a '+' signifying the purpose and you had a '-'.  I've committed it
into the main OPAM repo anyway, so you can switch to it via 

$ opam switch 4.00.1+alloc-profiling

However, when I run it on a toy program, I get the expect

$ ./a.out 
minor,0x404368,303
minor,0x405bd0,5
minor,0x405e48,2
minor,0x4063c0,9
minor,0x40ba48,12
major,0x4151a8,72
$ ./a.out > x                                                                   
                                  
$ ./parse.sh ./a.out x

Where does this 'minor' symbol crop up from?
