Changing the result of malloc: from a ByteArray to a CArrayAccessor
changes the indexing from 1 based to 0 based and removes other
collection functionality, e.g. #allButLast, which breaks other parts
of the simulator, e.g. #cStringOrNullFor: and #primitiveGetenv.

Is this really what you want to do?

Cheers,
Alistair
