[opensource-dev] Script Memory Management Algorithm

[Dickson, Mike (ISS Software)]

I'm inclined to agree.  Not to mention addressed the cost of maintaining a forked version of mono and the effort to forward port it into new releases.

I suppose it's possible that a change to malloc could make script memory allocation problems much simpler but that seems highly unlikely.  More likely you're trivializing a complex problem (in addition to allocation there are the issues of migrating the heap across simulators if a script moves, etc).

I don't think you have established that.
