i am strange enough to have analog mode disabled.  however, this isnt
quite the same thing.  the "problem" with the "dual mode" allocator
is that it has to remember what kind of memory it allocated so that it
can later free it.  it would be better to have an explicity huge memory
allocater.  it would also serve to point out sections of the afs code
that could stand some improvement.
