Why malloc() when target code is executed?

[Josef Wolf]

Hello!

I just noticed that ``print printf("Hello\n")'' call malloc() on the target
to allocate the memory for the string. AFAICS, this memory never gets freed.
Is there any reason not to allocate this memory on the stack? This would
avoid this memory leak. In addition, this would make it possible to use this
feature on embedded systems which often have either restricted memory or
even dont have malloc() at all.
