 * memalign
 *
 * Description:
 *   memalign requests more than enough space from malloc,
 *   finds a region within that chunk that meets the alignment
 *   request and then frees any leading or trailing space. 
 *
 *   The alignment argument must be a power of two (not
 *   checked).  8-byte alignment is guaranteed by normal
 *   malloc calls.
 *
