  Yes.  I'm also having trouble with the alloc functions.  I'm trying
  to compile gcc and gas for stephsf right now.  I presume that the
  alloc functions in gcc are better tested in the unix environment
  than the corresponing micosoft functions.

  It looks like problems in the recent release of sc can also be 
  traced back to the microsoft compiler. Specifically floating 
  point error handling.  ( Something about not cleaning up the 
  floating point stack after floating point errors occure. )

  I do not yet know if gcc will fix these problems but, it seems
  worth a shot.
