* avoid the heap fragmentation that tends to occur when lots of small
* strings are allocated directly from the heap and later free'd. They
* do this by allocating a list of large character arrays in each of
* which multiple strings are stored. Thus instead of allocating lots
* of small strings, a few large character arrays are allocated. When
* the strings are free'd on mass, this list of character arrays is
* maintained, ready for subsequent use in recording another set of
* strings.
