The problem is that he does not #include <stdlib.h>.  For the small model,
the pointer size is the same as the integer size.  For the large model, the
pointer size is larger than the integer size, but without the prototype it
will stuff the result of the malloc into an integer.

Moral:  Turn on all the checking features of TC (or Zortech or MSC or ..).
This would have been flagged immediately.
