It's default malloc routine used on FreeBSD since 2.2. (current
stable version is 2.2.7) Authored by Poul-Henning Kemp. I don't know
whether it's faster nor portable than Doug Lea malloc. As long as
what I read what's written above, I beleave their basic idea are
same.
# That means, on both FreeBSD and Linux, we simply can use default
# malloc. That's quite good news.
