Hmm, that's not so great - any idea about how much free memory you had 
using the old malloc?

I'm interested, as I run 6.0R on a PIII with 512MB RAM and have (right 
now) 193MB free, that's with Enlightment, Firefox, Thunderbird, xmms, 
and several Eterms running - so needless to say it runs great. I'm 
wondering what the situation will look like with -CURRENT....
