I have no original malloc sources, sorry if can't help this way.
I developed a malloc package ({m,c,re}alloc/free) that runs considerably
better than both libc.a and libmalloc.a, that is, it is faster and more
efficient in terms of user available space. The library runs OK under HP-UX
and SCO-ODT (BTW what kind of problems did you find with HP-UX malloc?).
Should you find this of any help, I can post the sources on the net.

Bye.
Rob
