   Now, this would just be a guess, but I would say that you do not include the
header file for malloc.  This tells the compiler that the function returns an
int, which it will happily convert to a pointer in small model.  In large model,
other weird things will happen.
   I could be completely wrong, in which case you can just ignore this...
