Oh, I see I got this backwards. With malloc-posix as the simpler module, then I agree that we should rename 'malloc' to 'malloc-gnu', which implies the additional constraint of malloc(0) returning an allocation. With your further explanation, I am fine with the changes, but would still like to hear from Jim since it is originally his module. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
