	Could someone please summarize the Malloc() bugs?  Just what are
they?  In the couple of programs I wrote that used it, I never had a problem,
but if it was really dangerous and I was, say, going to write something for a
mag or for commercial distribution or whatever, I'd really like to know the
dangers.  -Although it won't be too much of a problem for me since, after a
great deal of wavering back and forth between Megamax and MWC, I've decided
to go with MWC (if we can only get version 2 in the store before the next
ice age).

P.S. -please post quickly, as my account is about to die in a week or two,
it being the end of term.
