Looks fine to me, but maybe I wrote "English in Norwegian".
<<slap_sl_malloc> <of %lu bytes>> <<falling back> <to ch_malloc>>.

Anyway, removing the English words fixes the problem since it's
just a trace message of little interest to users.

Yes, since nothing is wrong yet the message claimed it failed,
so people were asking what's wrong.

Unless ch_malloc also fails, then it might help a little to see
that it came from e.g. slap_sl_malloc of 18446744073709550382 bytes.
