Then you should be okay, though a few additional tests may be in order
just to be sure (does the pointer look like it is from the same general
data space as a pointer returned from malloc(1) in the same program? 
can you write a single byte to it without memory protection catching a
fault?  Can you free it without a fault?)

Derek
