While I'm sure that will work correctly in any release build I'm not so
sure it will in the debug build.
That's because the debug build assigns a struct around the malloc'ed
memory for memory tracing.

Also you might want to use a bit different define for FREE, the current
codebase _might_ depend upon it, to prevent accessing freed memory:
#define FREE(ptr)        do { free(ptr); ptr = NULL; } while(0)
