  According to Plauger and Brodie, "Standard C", free() is prototyped
as "void free(void *ptr)", so this is a change by Lattice to bring
5.04 more in line with the standard. Gee, I wonder if they've fixed
main()'s prototype? In versions 4 and 5 they had it prototyped to be
type void, when it is supposed to be type int (since you can return the
return value). [I still haven't received my 5.04 yet 8-( 8-(. Think
it's time to get on the phone to Lattice].
