It is mainly a size problem.

the threading problem is also easier to avoid/fix with much smaller libs.

dmalloc already uses xmalloc defines..

dmalloc.h :

#undef xmalloc
#define xmalloc(size) \
  _xmalloc_leap(__FILE__, __LINE__, size)
#undef xcalloc
#define xcalloc(count, size) \
  _xcalloc_leap(__FILE__, __LINE__, count, size)
....
