I am having a problem which causes a bus error and core dump in malloc. It
works fine up until a specific point at which I am requesting 4 bytes of
memory. If I reset my routine to pad all malloc calls with an extra byte,
the problem dissapears, and the program works correctly. As I am operating
in the bsd43 environment, I cannot use malloccheck to attempt to decipher 
the problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
