/*
 *  These are interface routines to be placed between a program and the
 *  system memory allocator.  
 *
 *  It forces well-defined semantics for several 'borderline' cases:
 *
 *      malloc() of a 0 size object is guaranteed to return something
 *          which is not 0, and can safely be freed (but not dereferenced)
 *      free() accepts (silently) an 0 pointer
 *      realloc of a 0 pointer is allowed, and is equiv. to malloc()
 *      For the IBM/PC it forces no object > 64K; note that the size argument
 *          to malloc/realloc is a 'long' to catch this condition
 *
 *  The function pointer MMoutOfMemory() contains a vector to handle a
 *  'out-of-memory' error (which, by default, points at a simple wrap-up 
 *  and exit routine).
