I have been testing the recently posted uucp and I am getting problems
with the uucico. The problems are really puzzelling. Can some MacMinix
user please try out the following test code based upon a section of
uucico and tell me if it works or fails.

main() {
	char *memory;

	if((memory=(char *)malloc(15)) == (char *)0) {
		printf("malloc failed\n");
	}
	else {
		free(memory);
		printf("memory freed\n");
	}
	printf("test complete\n");
}

The free fails on my MacMinix with the message 
    "assert failed in lib/malloc.c"

It works on my Unix machines, which of course is should!
