I just revised my hashlib package to accept large number of
insertions (>8,000,000).  In testing it I found difficulties with
the malloc package on DJGPP 2.03.  My nmalloc package, on the other
hand, worked correctly.  In addition, for more reasonable counts of
insertions the nmalloc system was roughly twice as fast as the
original.  Note that I am not considering the massive end of the
run freeing operation in this.

This is a strong reason to incorporate nmalloc in DJGPP 2.04 as
soon as possible.  At present it is quite possible to install it in
DJGPP 2.03 by pre-linking the malloc.o module in the actual final
output.  This prevents searching the library for malloc, free,
realloc etc.
