I needed it relatively recently so that I didn't lose half the pointer
returned under 64-bit on AIX.... seemed it was assuming a 32-bit
return value until I included the header.

It is possible that the compiler was horrendously out of date, though.
Took me ages to figure out why malloc() was returning a pointer to
kernel space... =)
