2002-07-23* Automatically try to unmap heap free-areas when they get very big.Miles Bader
* Instead of using mmap/munmap directly for large allocations, just use the heap for everything (this is reasonable now that heap memory can be unmapped). * Use sbrk instead of mmap/munmap on systems with an MMU.
2002-07-19Doc fix.Miles Bader
2002-07-18Miles Bader implemented a new mmap based malloc which is muchEric Andersen
smarter than the old "malloc-simple", and actually works, unlike the old "malloc". So kill the old "malloc-simple" and the old "malloc" and replace them with Miles' new malloc implementation. Update Config files to match. Thanks Miles!
