Try the K&R allocator. Google found a copy at
        https://github.com/BoiseState/CS453-resources/tree/master/examples/memory-management/simple-malloc

If you want to find other copies, search for
        "morecore: ask system for more memory"

You'll have to adapt morecore to your needs: for instance, by replacing sbrk.
