One quick comment: The block overhead moves from 8 bytes per malloc to 32 bytes per malloc. For lots of small allocations this could be a problem on small memory machines. I'd prefer to remove the guardhi 8 bytes to reduce the overhead to 24 bytes per block, or to move all of the information before the block and plan to align on 16-byte boundaries.
