I have built a replacement for the DJGPP malloc package, see:

     <http://cbfalconer.home.att.net/download/nmalloc.zip>

which can be linked into your program, and then totally replaces
the distributed package.  This includes hooks for following the
allocated and free chains, but no user level software (other than
the testing code) for using it.  Note that this IS NOT a part of
the DJGPP package, although it may become such in future.

The make file generates several versions, including the linkable
system version.
