/* MD.c
by Fabbian G. Dufoe, III
This is a public domain program. Use it however you like.
This program tests all the memory which the operating system will
allocate to it. It writes a test value to each address. Then it reads
each address and compares the result with the test value. If the value
read from memory doesn't match the test value the program writes the
address (the pointer value), the expected contents, and the actual
contents of the memory location to standard output. When all allocated
memory has been tested against one test value the program moves to the
next one. The test values are 0x00, 0xff, 0x55, and 0xaa.
A command line option directs the program to write a list of bad
addresses to a file. The file will contain all the addresses at which an
error was detected. The addresses will be listed in ascending order and
each address will appear only once. Addresses will be separated by
newlines. The addresses will be ASCII characters representing
hexadecimal values. The program will not list more than 100 addresses.
While the program is running it writes status messages to standard error.

we'll sort only that part of the array we used. That means we'll
keep the index values between 0 and high.
An insertion sort works by shifting all the items left of the current
one right one position until an item is less than the current one.
Imagine the items to be sorted are laid out from left to right. Then
the sort places the current item in the position vacated by the last
item to be shifted right. The sort starts with the second item as
the current one and proceeds to the right until all the items have had
a turn as the current one.
