- It will only call Malloc more than 16 times if you malloc() a LOT of
- small blocks. If masterbrowse would malloc once for some largish block,
- the library would normally request such a large block as well. Another
- reason not to use Malloc is that malloc() is a standard function in all
- C compilers and Malloc() is only standard under GEM.
