On the topic of replacing alloca by malloc.

It sort of boils down to the discussion we've just finished. When I did
this in TURBO C I could not "self" alloca the pushdown stacks as regular
arrays because the stack is very limited. So then I indeed replace alloca
with malloc, but you then have to modify the exit code as well, and have
them free the occupied space.


So I've hacked the skeleton a little. I've placed it under anon-ftp

in: /pub/local-dos/gnu/simple.bsn
