It just occured to me that it is probably safe to use malloc()'ed buffers,
as long as you don't use dealloc with them?  It's a bit awkward, because
this is mixing Mach level with glibc level stuff.  I don't know if it is
safe to return a buffer that is not starting at a mmap'ed region, for
example.

Thanks,
Marcus
