It's already linked to libc's malloc unless you have a version that is linked to a nonstandard libmalloc. This is one of the main advantages (?) of not putting phkmalloc in a special library that almost no one will use. It also shows why third party programs should not use nonstandard libraries to avoid problems in standard libaries. Bruce
