I was confused by the description of -Wbad-function-cast.  It talks 
about function calls, but the malloc example looked more like a 
declaration, and IIRC it's not valid to redeclare functions from the 
standard C library with the wrong return type (or at the very least we 
shouldn't encourage doing so in an example).  After checking the 
implementation to see what the option actually does, I decided it would 
be better not to name any particular function here.

Checked in under the obvious fix rule.
