Re:  More memory problem
From:      Michael Muuss <MIKE@BMD70>
I can offer a linked-list memory allocater that does reasonable error checking
and runs much faster than the original V6 one.  It's probably like what
Berkeley must (surely have) done for their BSD systems.  Send me mail
if you want it.

I'm not so certain that changing memory allocators will help Peter's
problem, but it's worth a shot!  By the way, the queued allocator uses
a common pool for free entries, so is more reasonable about # of entries
needed (which it eats back with link pointers, but...)
