malloc() can not be used in ECL. ECL is a garbage collected program
and as such you should use the garbage collector to allocate memory.
The required routines are cl_alloc(), cl_alloc_atomic(), etc The call
to cl_dealloc() should then be placed before the main return. I will
audit your patches later.
