General, SVR2 "lint" will complain about casting the (char *) returned
by malloc() into other pointer types, and there seems to be no way around
it.  The best you can do is obtain a "possible pointer alignment problem"
warning.  That's because "lint" does not know that the pointer returned by
malloc() is guaranteed to point to properly aligned storage for any use.
