Will do that

That is what i did with my last update. The diff of the source was sent to
the mailing list and and updated mballoc-core.patch was put at www.radian.org
so that we can use the same to update the patch queue. The diff against mballoc.c
helps in reviewing the changes made.

I have updated the code with  your suggestion. I haven't resolved all the
questions. The rest are marked with FIXME in the source. The idea is this 
will help Alex to find easily the portion of the code that needs his immediate
attention.
