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.)
