Glad to hear it.  Please look closely at the problems with the
existing malloc package, and my replacement nmalloc.  One of the
problems is exposed by the evilalgo.c test.

My health prevents me from doing anything major at this point.  But
if things get moving I shall try to attack the memalign
(non-standard) problem again.  At one point I understood this was
needed to handle the later gcc versions.
