Hi all,
	I am wondering if anyone has a better malloc routine that would suit
use with PMODE. The libc.a malloc is atrocious in this environment.
For example most of my tables are a nice power of two long, so the
libc malloc allocates exactly twice as much memory as is needed (eg a
512K table uses 1M of space). This means that I run out of memory very
fast. I have had to resort to direct sbrk allocations, and the
housekeeping associated with these.

Thanks
Malcolm
