Well, if Xfree86's malloc is inferior to what we have, trust me it will
be one of the first things that I will take out as soon as I get my grubby
hands on the sources. Most likely , others in different platforms will
do the same.
Now, what will be interesting to find out is, why does the XFree86 team
need to write their malloc?

is a generalization.
