+Notes:
+The original version of gnumalloc was added (not imported) from
+prep.ai.mit.edu in src/gnu/lib/libmalloc in 1993. This is the newest
+version from 1995. It is written by Mike Haertel, and was distributed
+both standalone and as part of glibc. At some point glibc switched
+to use Doug Lea's ptmalloc which is now tightly bound with glibc
+and cannot be separated. The Doug Lea version of malloc is also
+distributed in a standalone form by Wolfram Gloger in
+http://www.malloc.de/en/. We can consider switching to ptmalloc
+at some point since it will provide an alternative MT malloc, but
+perhaps this implementation should be kept anyway for historical
+purposes.
