Ok, thanks.  I had thought that it might be more serious than that
for me.  I always compile with -W and -Wall to get lots of warnings
and lately I've even used a of -Wpedantic.  Then I make sure to 
resolve absolutely every warning that I can.  So I will get an explicit 
warning about forgetting to include stdlib.  When I fix that then 
everything should be OK, even if I do cast the return from malloc.

Thanks,

Doug Eleveld
