Have you checked that you've included "unix.h" or "memory.h" or whatever
it is so that the compiler knows that malloc() returns a pointer and not an
int?

Note: this is certainly wrong in LightSpeed C of any version. You mean:
	printf( "Sp is %08lX\n", (unsigned long) Sp );

the %lx means long in hex.
