This release is a good example of - that. A few bugs turned up that needed to be fixed and the only good way - to fix them was to change some fundamental data structure sizes. So I did - just that.

Dost - o Lots of reentrance cleanups (we should now be fully - reentrant when compiled with pthread support). - o Miles Bader implemented a new mmap based malloc which is much - smarter than the old "malloc-simple", and actually works, unlike - the old "malloc".
