libio/dbz won't compile (patch)

Recently dbz stopped compiling, which of course aborts 'make check' at
the very beginning of its run. The problem is a type clash between
its private declaration of malloc() and the standard library.
This patch fixes it for me. I would call it an obvious bugfix but no
one else has reported this - is it just me?

* dbz.c, dbzmain.c: Get malloc and friends from stdlib.h if
__STDC__ is defined.
