No, please do NOT do that!!!

I knew I should have never accepted to allow this in the SPL fromt he
beginning, and indeed it was a mistake not to block this.

Please now don't use it without thinking if it's really, really
needed!


I recommend NOT to use malloc() at all in SPL code.

[Guess I should have a more carefull eye on all SPL related
submissions and install a "grep-malloc-and-NAK" script. :-( ]

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
