/*

  A ThreadHeap comprises NumHeaps "per-thread" heaps.

  To pick a per-thread heap, the current thread id is hashed (mod NumHeaps).

  malloc gets memory from its hashed per-thread heap.
  free returns memory to its hashed per-thread heap.

  (This allows the per-thread heap to determine the return
  policy -- 'pure private heaps', 'private heaps with ownership',
  etc.)

  NB: We assume that the thread heaps are 'locked' as needed.  */
