Allocating the space before use would be straightforward for Bourne's
`heap' storage (the blok.c allocator).  Did you modify all the `stak'
macros and functions also to increase the break as needed?

There were other advantages to using the C library's malloc, notably
being able to call arbitrary C library functions, such as the
directory-reading routines, even if they used malloc.
