	char *sbrk( int incr );
also returns -1 (presumably this really means (char *)-1)
on failure.  This is a holdover from the good old days of
PDP-11 UNIX; it really ought to be NULL also.

(There is some hilarious code in a few SVR2 utilities
that checks the return of malloc() for -1.  Fixed at BRL.)
