Bug#126654: circlepack: Missing malloc() prototype could cause segfaults on ia64

[John R.Daily <jdaily@progeny.com>]

Package: circlepack
Version: N/A; reported 2001-12-27
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Unprototyped functions are presumed to return 32-bit integers;
on ia64, pointers occupy 64 bits, and can be corrupted without
a prototype.

There are over 200 unprototyped functions in the circlepack
source, but malloc is the only one I've identified as returning
a 64-bit value.
