I actually saw it last night.  The fix for this is mentioned in the README
that came with the 6.06 source.  It suggests several ways to fix it.  The
easiest seemed to be to compile with -DSYSMALLOC, or defining it in
config_f.h.  After that it compiled with a few warnings about incompatible
pointer types, but it seems to run no problem.

Good Luck,
Dave
