You are targeting Windows, now, right?
Then why not use the Windows allocation?

	pointer = GlobalAlloc( GMEM_FIXED | GMEM_ZEROINIT, howmuch );
	GlobalFree( pointer );

AFAIK the GMEM_FIXED blocks don't have many issues.
To try it, you could wrap them in your own versions of malloc() and
free(), and just rebuild.

void * malloc(size_t size)
{	return GLobalAlloc(GMEM_FIXED,size);
}
