9  * This is a very fast storage allocator.  It allocates blocks of a small
10  * number of different sizes, and keeps free lists of each size.  Blocks that
11  * don't exactly fit are passed up to the next larger size.  In this
12  * implementation, the available sizes are 2^n-4 (or 2^n-12) bytes long.
13  * This is designed for use in a program that uses vast quantities of memory,
14  * but bombs when it runs out.
