A while back I asked the net if anyone had a malloc/free test program that
would allocate and free randomly sized pieces of memory with random lifetimes
(and fill them with patterns that would be checked for corruption).  I got
a number of useful suggestions (best one: use the "diff" program as a
malloc test ... it's brutal).  Eventually, I wound up writing my own
test program, which actually helped me find a bug.

On the assumption that it might be useful to someone else, here it is.
Please note:

        - No documentation (read the code to find out what it does).
        - Could be extended in zillions of ways to make it more useful.
        - No makefile, just compile "cc mtest.c"
