I didn't think the malloc implementations were "old" and "new", I thought the 
malloc implementations are small/slow, large/fast, and a medium.

Also, I don't believe any of them are currently broken, or that they're 
particularly difficult to maintain.  (Unlike the threading libraries, which 
are a pain to debug at the best of times because most problems you have with 
them are race conditions you can't reliably reproduce.)
