I discovered this problem, and its fix, just before Christmas when I
tried to implement MarshallUtils for nhc98. I seem to have lost my
source code right now, but as I recall, we can keep this signature
just by wrapping the old implementation:
malloc :: Storable a => IO (Ptr a)
malloc = malloc_ undefined
malloc_ :: Storable a => a -> IO (Ptr a)
malloc_ x = mallocBytes (sizeOf x)
