It's hard to say; he said he was running linux 2.4.18, and there is no
uClinux 2.4.18 (they skipped from 2.4.17 directly to 2.4.19), so it might be
just normal linux.

Symptom of what?  Do you mean because programs don't catch a NULL return from
malloc?

Malloc should work with pthreads now; I fixed the locking today (but because
I don't have a pthreads-capable system, I can't test it).
