-make memtester's exit code meaningful. See the manpage for its meaning.
Thanks to Wurzel Parsons-Keir, who sent a patch for the code, so I only had
to document it.

-small changes to enable building with dietlibc and a few other environments
that don't even attempt to provide the various Posix definitions.
-cosmetic fixes to output.
-restore the reduce-and-retry loop of memory locking from version 2.

diff: "stress text" was changed to "stress test" in the man page.
Noticed by kre in pkg/26619.

The version 4 rewrite was mainly to accomplish three things:
(1) the previous code was basically a hack, and was ugly.
(2) to make the code more portable. The previous version required some
hackery to compile on some systems.
(3) to make the code fully 64-bit aware. The previous version worked
on 64-bit systems, but did not fully stress the memory subsystems
on them -- this version should be better at stress-testing 64-bit
systems.
pkgsrc changes:
* Use the gzipped tarball (the bzipped one is no more).
* Tweak COMMENT.
* GNU make is no longer needed.

<pancake at phreaker.net> with some minor changes by me.
memtest is a utility for testing the memory subsystem in a computer
to determine if it is faulty. The original source was by Simon
Kirby <sim@stormix.com>. I have by this time completely rewritten
the original source, and added many additional tests to help catch
borderline memory. I also rewrote the original tests (which catch
mainly memory bits which are stuck permanently high or low) so that
they run approximately an order of magnitude faster.
