-/* Overview of bmerge variables:
-**
-** list1 and list2 address the main and auxiliary arrays.
-** They swap identities after each merge pass.
-** Base points to the original list1, so we can tell if
-** the pointers ended up where they belonged (or must be copied).
-**
-** When we are merging two lists, f1 and f2 are the next elements
-** on the respective lists. l1 and l2 mark the end of the lists.
-** tp2 is the current location in the merged list.
-**
-** p1 records where f1 started.
-** After the merge, a new descriptor is built there.
-**
-** p2 is a ``parallel'' pointer in (what starts as) descriptor space.
-** It is used to identify and delimit the runs.
-**
-** In the heat of determining where q, the greater of the f1/f2 elements,
-** belongs in the other list, b, t and p, represent bottom, top and probe
-** locations, respectively, in the other list.
-** They make convenient temporary pointers in other places.
