While at this, Florian, I think you tried to eliminate all occurrences
of alloca family functions in the past.  I can see that Tamuki Shoichi's
patch uses alloca family optionally.  Shouldn't this patch just assume
that alloca is never used, and using_malloc is always true and therefore
can be dropped?  The patch would be simpler and IIUC more secure.
