 * tclAlloc.c --
 *
 *      This is a very fast storage allocator. It allocates blocks of a small
 *      number of different sizes, and keeps free lists of each size. Blocks
 *      that don't exactly fit are passed up to the next larger size. Blocks
 *      over a certain size are directly allocated from the system.
