I wish it would go out including my nmalloc. Although I never got
the memalign stuff into it, I am quite proud of the package and the
built in debugging capability. I believe someone was running it
for some time, and found no problems. The only reason, I believe,
for the memalign stuff was to work with gcc, and that seems to
already be problematical. I don't think it is smart to have gcc
dependant on such non-standard things.
