anyone else seen this? stuck in the mud...

If you are writing a user-mode component (== chunk o' code), then you typically do *not* want to include headers from 'sys'. That directory contains kernel-related headers.

If you are including it because your library accesses kernel structures in some way, then you should include <sys/types.h> before <sys/malloc.h>.

There is no 'malloc.h' for user-mode code. It's an out-of-date file that persists in some systems, and is not present in Darwin/Mac OS X.

Justin
