This meant a connection with many messages would use continually-growing
memory.
+JH/46 Use an exponentially-increasing block size when malloc'ing store. Do it
+ per-pool so as not to waste too much space. Previously a constant size
+ was used which resulted in O(n^2) behaviour; now we get O(n log n) making
+ DOS attacks harder. The cost is wasted memory use in the larger blocks.
