There were more lines, that was a sample.  Somehow I didn't think that a 
hundred lines of the stuff would be useful...hrm, I'll try to remember to 
be a bit clearer next time.  Mostly the proggie really does just call 
malloc though.  Being new to C I figured I'd jump into the memory 
allocation stuff and see if it starts to make any sense.  Slowly but surely 
all the pieces are coming together. :-)

Cheers for all the help and suggestions,
Jules
