You might try checking this:
In at least LSC version 2.01 (don't know about the rest, they've never
sent me anything about updates, and I never bothered to pull them off the
net) there is a bug in malloc().

malloc looks something like this:

char *
malloc(size)
unsigned short size;
{
	return(NewPtr(size));
}

The problem here is that NewPtr() expects a long not an unsigned short.
Casting it to a long will fix this.
(ie: return(NewPtr((long)size));  )
