	In article <3015@phri.UUCP> I asked a stupid question about malloc,
and sort of accused Sun's malloc of having a bug.  Of course, the bug was
not in malloc, but in my own code, saying "xp = (x *) malloc (n)" instead
of "xp = (x *) malloc (n * sizeof (x))".

	I posted that question after a long frustrating day (why doesn't
lint catch these things:-)) and then went to watch the latest episode of
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" on TV.  By the time the show was over, I
figured out what the problem was and cancled the article.  Not soon enough,
it seems, by the number of replies I've gotten.
