_I_ did not use sbrk(). A third-party package did.
My test program does, but only to provide a demostration of the problem.
malloc has all sorts of special-casing in it for handling 'foreign sbrk'. It
appears to be programmed to handle the foreign sbrk(), but fails to do so.
If it is impossible to use sbrk(), then shouldn't it's prototype be removed?
