Thanks. Looks safe to me, Wolfram should comment as well. I've
applied the patch after removing most of the MALLOC_MEMMOVE
definition. It cannot be correct since it didn't change the copy
direction. The macro for now simply calls memmove. If you want to
provide a more complicated, faster version please go ahead.
Thanks,
