 * 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.
