malloc.h has never existed on Darwin. Programs that #include <malloc.h> without verifying whether it exists are considered buggy and have to be patched.
1/ Then I have no idea where I got the copy that I had before I reinstalled everything. Could it have been installed by a fink package, or do they usually stay out of /usr and such? (xfree excepted of course)
2/ That's half the world and his brother that just includes malloc.h. I'd say Apple is in a minority position here.
3/ But looking it up in the C standard (section 7.10.3.3) I find that you're right: the prototype should be in stdlib.h, and the standard does not mandate the existence of malloc.h.
You learn something every day.
