ehtern __ptr_t alloca __P ((size_t __size));
And I'm pretty sure I see the problem - I think it should be "extern" not
"ehtern" at the start of that line, right?
I won't change it until someone with a wiser head then mine agrees, but if
I remember any of my basic C classes, "ehtern" is not a valid verb for C.

little comment saying "I am Evil" or "Bill Gates loves me" or what? :-)
