Thanks to the people who responded to my problem with malloc().  I had a
number of bugs in the program (including writing much information to
an unintialized output stream because I accidentally deleted the
initialization code!!), but malloc() did need to be declared, and using
"%lx" instead of "%x" in my printf statement showed that the high-word
of the addresses was indeed 3!

Now I just need to trim the number of floating point calls so the thing
doesn't run so s--l--o--w.  It (a forest modelling program) has to run
on SEs for a student prac, so I don't have the luxury of using our Mac
II all the time.
