>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Have stdlib.h be included instead of stdlib.h on FreeBSD:

   http://hyperion.scode.org/pkgsrc/libmal-malloc.patch

Note that it does not distinguish based on the version of FreeBSD. I believe stdlib.h will always have defined malloc() in modern times, so I suspect it is not necessary. (malloc.h is not even standard AFAIK?).
