I am writing a program in C,  and just to make life easy, I want to malloc
(actually calloc) a data space > 64k.  I noticed that if I malloc <65535
bytes (<64k) I can fread directly into that buffer.  What I'd like to do
is be able to fread into a buffer about 256k in size. (The reason for this
is speed).  I have tried the large memory model as well as huge pointers, but
to no avail.  Are there any special versions of malloc &/or calloc that
will let me do this?
