I should add: there *is* one example of static allocation: the sockets array. 
And I don't really like it :-)

However, given the (dumb) standard that says sockets should be an int (I guess 
because the first implementers
used an array index?), this is currently a good solution, given the fact that 
our memp pools also allocate
the memory at compile time...
