+        * alloc.c (memory_full) [SYSTEM_MALLOC]: Port to MacOS (Bug#8800).
+        Do not assume that spare memory exists; that assumption is valid
+        only if SYSTEM_MALLOC.
+        (LARGE_REQUEST): New macro, so that the issue of large requests
+        is separated from the issue of spare memory.
