Probably not a good idea to do hacks like this. I concur with the prior
emails.. off the top of my head, I think of any major reason why the Tinsel
heap manager couldn't be replaced with direct memory allocations/freeings
with only minor effort. Some of the existing code, such as the heap
compaction routine, couldn't be replicated in a direct allocation scheme,
but that might not be needed if we leave everything up the operating system.
