   I am who I am, Kerr, but me being me will ultimately not do anything   
   to truly help you.  I'm just Rick.  Nice guy hopefully and perhaps,   
   but little more.  It will be an enjoyable exercise to pass the time,   
   but consider the fact that that really is about it.  There remains   
   something more that'll be unaddressed in these exercises.   
      
   I'll try my hand at it.  I enjoy these kinds of puzzles. :-)   
      
   I have another one if anyone's interested:  now that memory is not   
   a limiting factor on modern machines, design a better malloc(), one   
   that addresses cache needs more directly.  For example, I've taken   
   cues from Microsoft's HPFS definition, that uses local clusters for   
   related files and file data, so minimal seeks are required.  If a   
   malloc() algorithm could be created which had that consideration,   
   it might make better use of caches on millions of computers, and   
   really making a difference in performance world-wide.   
      
   Thank you,
