 ** ArenaAllocate() -- allocate space from an arena pool
 ** 
 ** Description: ArenaAllocate() allocates space from an arena
 ** pool. 
 **
 ** First try to satisfy the request from arenas starting at
 ** pool->current.
 **
 ** If there is not enough space in the arena pool->current, try
 ** to claim an arena, on a first fit basis, from the global
 ** freelist (arena_freelist).
 ** 
 ** If no arena in arena_freelist is suitable, then try to
 ** allocate a new arena from the heap.
 **
 ** Returns: pointer to allocated space or NULL
