I am working on building a THINK C 4.0 library based on some Unix code
that uses malloc() for memory allocation.  I plan to allow the
programmer to provide a different memory allocation routine, but was
planning to use malloc() in the default allocation routine.

Is there a problem with using malloc() by default?  That is, is the
programmer likely to run into problems if s/he doesn't redefine
the memory allocation routine if they aren't otherwise using the
ANSI libraries?
