Has anybody ever had problems with malloc() (DRI C)?
Consider the following piece of code:

long free_mem;

struct midi_event
{ int delay;
  char midi_msgs[3];
} buffer;

main()
{
  struct event *malloc();

  free_mem = (long)malloc(-1L);

  buffer = malloc(free_mem);

/*  error handling ..... */

  printf("%ld bytes free",free_mem);

  ........
  ........
}

What I get is "879000 bytes free" on a 1040 with a 600k RAM disk
installed....????

Any hint?
