If you are having problems with the DRI malloc, first call sbrk at the
beginning of your program.  Call it with an argument equal to the total
number of bytes you anticipate needing.  It allocates space to the heap
where the dynamic memory management is done.  See also brk.  Both
are documented under brk in the DRI C manual.
