--- Comment #1 from Walter Bright <bugzi...@digitalmars.com> ---
The malloc code in snn.lib is:

  void *malloc (size_t m_size)
  {
    /* The +2 is because there's a buffer overflow somewhere in stlport.
     * It is triggered by stltutorial\ex13-01.cpp
     */
    return HeapAlloc(_default_heap, 0, m_size + 2);
  }

HeapAlloc() is a Windows system function, i.e. bugs in it are Windows bugs.
