        ** Mac 8.3.3 binary release

        * mac/tclMacAlloc.c: modernized TclpSysAlloc() to use temporary
        memory instead of system heap memory when available (MacOS
        >= 7.5 and possibly earlier, use of system heap has been
        discouraged for a long time and has many disadvantages, e.g. memory
        isn't paged out, and errors can very easily bring the system down);
        fixed crashing bug in TclpSysRealloc() and CleanUpExitProc() where
        memory was being accessed after having been deallocated; fixed
        memory leak in (de)allocation code (for every block ever allocated
        with TclpSysAlloc, a Ptr was leaked), if temporary memory is
        available, don't track allocated memory, instead use
        RecoverHandle() to get Handle from Ptr, otherwise use doubly linked
        list to correctly track memory and free all allocated memory; added
        new option for ConfigureMemory: MEMORY_DONT_USE_TEMPMEM, disables
        use of temporary memory even when it would be available, only
        necessary when writing e.g. a driver (using tcl??); increased
        fraction of application heap reserved for OS routines to 512K
