  Modified:    sbin/newfs  mkfs.c
  Log:
  Fix the mount_mfs case from the last cleanup.  The code was (ab)using
  it's internal malloc() implementation to try and avoid overstepping it's
  resource limits (yuk!).  Remain using libc's malloc(), but check the
  resource limits right before trying to malloc the ramdisk space and leave
  some spare memory for libc.  In Andrey's words, the internal malloc
  was "true evil"..  Among it's sins is it's ability to allocate less memory
  than asked for and still return success.  stdio would just love that. :-)
