I know CVS is hosed

While attempting to cut down on the size of the 1.3.3 DLL, I uncovered a few
problems with cygheap.  I couldn't track them down before I went to bed.

The symptom is that applications die in cfree.  The problem manifests quickly
in a process which execs a process which execs a process.

I haven't seen the problem that Egor reported with free but it probably is not
related to the cygheap problem.  It probably is somehow related to the new
code in sigproc which allocates the zombie array dynamically.
