malloc wrappers in the database case

All the commercial database source I've seen (Sybase, Interbase,
Ingres) puts a #define wrapper around malloc and traps for SEGV. None of
it that I recall actually bothers to init the memory, but that would
be easy enough to do in the wrapper. If you are concerned about actually
getting the memory, just roll your own wrapper or link to one of the
many enhanced (eg, debuggable) mallocs out there.
