/* NAME
/*	mymalloc 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	memory management wrappers
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <mymalloc.h>
/*
/*	char	*mymalloc(len)
/*	int	len;
/*
/*	char	*myrealloc(ptr, len)
/*	char	*ptr;
/*	int	len;
/*
/*	char	*mystrdup(str)
/*	const char *str;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	This module performs low-level memory management with error
/*	handling. A call of these functions either succeeds or it does
/*	not return at all.
/*
/*	mymalloc() allocates the requested amount of memory. The memory
/*	is not set to zero.
/*
/*	myrealloc() resizes memory obtained from mymalloc() or myrealloc()
/*	to the requested size. The result pointer value may differ from
/*	that given via the \fBptr\fR argument.
/*
/*	mystrdup() returns a dynamic-memory copy of its null-terminated
/*	argument. This routine uses mymalloc().
/* SEE ALSO
/*	error(3) error reporting module.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Fatal errors: the requested amount of memory is not available.
