Wrong Newsgroup. Look up "malloc" in one of your books, then read the
comp.lang.c FAQ list, then, if necessary, post the question to either
comp.lang.c or, better yet, comp.lang.c.moderated. Comp.std.c is for
discussing the ANSI/ISO C Standard and its implications on the conformance of
programs and compilers.

The comp.lang.c FAQ is posted once a month to comp.lang.c and news.answers.
You can also retrieve it via FTP from rtfm.mit.edu.

Followups redirected to comp.lang.c.moderated.
