[ ... memory allocator ... ]

FWIW: The Sequent Dynix allocator paper has been converted, and
is now available online:

	Experience With an Efficient Parallel Kernel Memory Allocator
	Paul E. McKenney, Jack Slingwine, Phil Krueger
	Sequent Computer Systems, Inc.
	Software Practice And Experience
	http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/484408.html

This is the same reference that is in the books "UNIX Internals:
The New Frontiers" and "UNIX For Modern Architectures".

It's the reference I always give out, when locking in allocators
comes up, but now I have something other than a ratty photocopy
to give people.  8-).
