3rd Release now its no longer requered with a Size Argument, when left out

About memtester
memtester 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.
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.
