Your software is broken.

All functions not in the above table are considered to be unsafe with respect to
signals. In the presence of
signals, all functions defined by this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 shall
behave as defined when called from or
interrupted by a signal-catching function, with a single exception: when a signal
interrupts an unsafe function
and the signal-catching function calls an unsafe function, the behavior is
undefined.

Note that neither malloc nor free are async-signal safe.
