I am including (below) a response that we previously got to our inquiry.
We have implemented this change on both SUN3 and SPARC systems
running sun o/s 4.1 (emacs 18.55) with success.
We NO LONGER define SYSTEM_MALLOC (and hence use the gnu malloc).
I created a new s-sunos4.1.h
(that I include instead of s-sunos4.h in ./src/config.h):
----- Beginning of s-sunos4.1.h -----
#include "s-bsd4-2.h"

/* Say that the text segment of a.out includes the header;
   the header actually occupies the first few bytes of the text segment
   and is counted in hdr.a_text.  */

#define O_NDELAY        FNDELAY /* Non-blocking I/O (4.2 style) */
#define LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM -e __start -Bstatic

/* Include this definition for sun o/s 4.1  E.Antonsson, Caltech, 26-Jun-90 */
/* #define SYSTEM_MALLOC */
#define SUNOS_LOCALTIME_BUG
----- End of s-sunof4.1.h -----
