Malloc delay

I'm sorry to say that I just had a catastrophic hardware failure  
(electrostatic shock, followed by a short that blew the breaker  
switch), and all I have left running is a couple of Macs.  I don't  
know how long this is going to set me back, but chances are that I  
won't have any usable hardware for at least a couple of weeks.  The  
malloc code, which I was literally within minutes of starting to  
commit, is going to sit for a while.  Sorry.
