/******************************** Description *********************************/
 
/*
 *	This module implements a very fast block allocation scheme suitable for
 *	ROMed environments. It maintains block class queues for rapid allocation
 *	and minimal fragmentation. This modules does not coalesce blocks. The 
 *	storage space may be populated statically or via the traditional malloc 
 *	mechanisms. Large blocks greater than the maximum class size may be 
 *	allocated from the O/S or run-time system via malloc. To permit the use 
 *	of malloc, call bopen with flags set to B_USE_MALLOC (this is the default).
 *	It is recommended that bopen be called first thing in the application. 
 *	If it is not, it will be called with default values on the first call to 
 *	balloc(). Note that this code is not designed for multi-threading purposes
 *	and it depends on newly declared variables being initialized to zero.
