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.
