Sensible man.

The second version of the new malloc fixed that problem, thanks.
Since then I've seen one crash in make (tho' I've since lost the
core dump in a cleanup), which was inside one of the system DLLs
called from sbrk, as I recall.  It hasn't happened again (and I've
done a few rebuilds since then) so that isn't of much help.
Otherwise all is fine and dandy now.

Cheers,
