Sorry about this, folks.  I thought that I had tested this well  
before committing it, but it turns out I forgot to actually use the  
modified libc during testing.

There's a 12 minute window during which malloc was broken in the  
tree.  You really don't want revision 1.99 of malloc.c, so make sure  
to avoid it.
