[OT] I wrote a (better?) heap memory manager, is it good for anything?

  I've tried using some of them sometimes. Came across a case of 
trying to do a compare or copy safely, but if it was under a 
certain size it just didn't do anything making my compression 
testing functions fail. This was mostly if they were under the 
system's default word size. Not sure why that was, I would have 
thought it would switch tracks and handle less efficient pieces 
if there was only a few of them so I didn't have to write special 
work-around cases.

  Of course could do like M$ does, and increase the minimum size 
to the word length or double that for compression (NTFS does 
this) and a lot of speedups appear and problems go away rather 
than being as thorough as possible...
