slackbuilds_ponce/system/pdksh/patches/011_OpenBSD-alloc.patch

    + alloc.c: Kill hand-made memory allocation code, that is definitely
      buggy. Replace with simple wrapper around malloc, at least this works,
      and it's easier to debug anyways.
    + alloc.c: Don't allow alloc() and aresize() to fail.  Their return 
      value was only checked in two place (both in conjunction with 
      str_save).  Upon malloc/realloc failure we call internal_errorf()
      which pops throws and error and pops back to the last good state.
