Which probably would explain why things work on a Solaris box and
don't on a Linux box (not that Solaris is better than Linux): the
malloc succeeds on the Solaris box and fails on the Linux box.  And
because of the missing test (listed below BTW2), we proceed to
fandango on core...  Am I correct, or am I smoking tasty crack?

But why would there be this issue on a Linux box?  Is it a
sizeof(ulong) or ulong vs. long issue?

Enquiring minds want to know...
