The Perl malloc come from Caltech (see below) but I don't remember if the
BSD malloc is based on Perl's version or directly from Caltech's.

/*

 * This is a very fast storage allocator. It allocates blocks of a small
 * number of different sizes, and keeps free lists of each size. Blocks that
 * don't exactly fit are passed up to the next larger size. In this
 * implementation, the available sizes are 2^n-4 (or 2^n-12) bytes long.
 * This is designed for use in a program that uses vast quantities of memory,
