Thanks for your work.

However, it would be much better if your changes applied to the
version of malloc used in the library.  Then we could simply add them
to the library sources, and everyone else could benefit from your work
without going through the hassle of replacing malloc with another
version.

So please consider retrofitting your changes into the version of
malloc used by the library.

If you have difficulties understanding the code, please post specific
questions to djgpp-workers AT delorie DOT com, and you will get help.
