Cut the files in half and it might work better (note to self: check your tree is really clean before patching)

23Package: dbestfit - a dynamic memory allocator
24Date: March 30, 2005
25Version: 3.3
26Author: Daniel Stenberg <daniel@haxx.se>
27
28 I wrote the dmalloc part for small allocation sizes to improve the behavior
29of the built-in (first-fit) allocator found in pSOS (around 1996).
30
31 I wrote the bmalloc part (best-fit with splay-tree sorting) just for the fun
32of it and to see how good malloc() clone I could make. The quality of my
33implementation is still left to be judged in real-world tests.
34
35TODO:
36 * Remove the final not-so-very-nice loop in dmalloc.c that checks for a block
37 with free fragments (when the list gets longer too much time might be spent
38 in that loop).
39
40 * Add semaphore protection in bmalloc.
41
42 * Make a separate application that samples the memory usage of a program
43 and is capable of replaying it (in order to test properly).
