Well, the "configure" code itself is okay, it's more a question of
testing all the different configurations. What is really difficult,
pretty much impossible, is writing code correctly without ever testing
it. Plus, I think most people working on Emacs were not even aware of
the ralloc configuration, so they couldn't know about the possibility of
bugs from it.

Testing and reporting bugs is also important to maintaining Emacs, so
thanks to you as well!
I should mention also that this stuff is solved in Emacs 26 (not yet
released), so that the standard allocater will be used once more and
there won't be a need for ralloc.
