Indeed. Hmm, strange. I had 2 arguments and included /sys/time.h, but then it
said something about functions with wrong number of arguments. Now I don't get
that error.
Heh, a bit embarrasing this..
But I still don't understand why it works with 1 argument and calloc before
malloc.
Ah well, problem solved (by gray-blackish magic).
Thanks a lot!
