I'm calling MPW C code using MCL 2.0's foreign function
interface.  My program bombs occasionally (but not
consistently), and I suspect it's due to malloc calls. Is
it safe to use the MPW memory allocation/deallocation
calls in a Lisp environment, or should I create a static
array and manage it all myself?
