I compared eathena's current memory manager with jAthena's version history. The oldest version I have available very closely matches eathena (basically only some #defines were adjusted in r9606, and some "chunk" structure was added in r3640).
The point is, the ea manager is rather primitive, and has some glitches that could be improved.
In revision r1585 by EoE, I read "Memory manager rewrite (malloc.c), memory consumption reduction by 13MB compared to r1583". There were some small followup tweaks, but this was the most important change. Maybe we should import it? (and clean up what we have at the same time)
My main intent was to write a function that would ask the memory manager to validate a pointer (runtime sanity checks, to try and find out the cause of the current party data corruption problem).
