 *  blocks which are allocated using the first fit method.  Garbage
 *  collection is performed each time a block is returned to the heap by
 *  coalescing neighbor blocks.  Control information for both allocated
 *  and unallocated blocks is contained in the heap space.  A heap header
 *  contains control information for the heap.
