It covers some history concerning malloc. That the largest block M of memory you can allocate is an M so that what the OS have is M log M, then you'll never run into trouble. It also covered some stuff concerning the diff utility, and the various algorithms that were tried out in the process.
And Doug McIlroy concluded that GNU Tools are good!
