>(dbmalloc), but it went into an infinite loop on the tests.

There's a port somewhere on sunSITE, I think.

I'm revamping my own debugging malloc for use in debugging JNOS/Linux, which
needs it rather badly due to the fact that most of the code is the original
DOS code, and it's difficult to catch wild pointers under DOS. But that's
proving to be rather nasty and the result might not necessarily be of general
use --- I may yet have to build in knowledge about JNOS's internal "processes"
aka cooperative "threads" to make it work correctly.

It's not too late to turn back from the "Gates" of Hell...
