I apologize for my confusion.  This thread seemed out of the blue but
it wasn't, though its being on a different group with a different
title from the original thread did little to indicate that it was a
continuation.  Given the lack of context, I was under the impression
that you were implying that you wrote Tango's heap *allocator* and not
its heap *container*, which sounded a bit more severe than the actual
issue at hand.
