- In libunix.a malloc(), calloc() and realloc() no longer treat a

request to allocate 0 bytes as an error, returning NULL. They all
  return a pointer sized memory chunk (= four bytes) initialized to
  NULL (= 0) instead.

- The alloca() implementation which allocates memory from the system
  rather than the local stack frame is thread-safe now. It also
  interacts with the realloc(), calloc(), free() and malloc() functions
  in that the alloca() cleanup routine is called once alloca() has
  done its job. If all the memory allocated through alloca() has been
  released no further calls to the cleanup function will be made.

- In the thread-safe library, realloc() permitted two different overlapping
  calls to succeed in trying to reallocate the same chunk of memory due to
  a race condition. Fixed.
