Attached patch removes the VQ_MALLOC memory manager. Apparently this was used in the past because of performance reasons, but according the comments in Makefile.defs this is not necessary anymore.

As this memory manager implements no realloc, it emits quite a lot of scary warnings during the compile, so i'm not sure if this is used/ still usable at all.

I find it hard to get through all the different defines, removing some of them could make the maintenance of this core part a little bit easier.

Perhaps somebody with more insight into the history of the server knows more details about this code..

Thanks,

Henning

    No reply to RFC on lists, Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul also mentioned in a private discussion that is not used at the moment in the SER core. Commited to trunk, closes patch.
