I don't have that documentation.  I would appreciate an e-mail
with little baby steps to get the appropriate documents and
routine specs.  I believe I have put enough in nmalloc to allow
virtually anything to be created in that the internal structure is
available, but I have deliberately NOT tried to build areas where
I have no prior knowledge.  I don't want to get into overall
systematic issues.

I did include an example of my idea of debug usage in the tnmalloc
test code to show the complete chains of free space on demand.
