Dear Simon Schwarz,

Why not use malloc for this? Thanks to changes in the FAT driver we now have it in the SPL.
No, please do NOT do that!!!
I knew I should have never accepted to allow this in the SPL fromt he beginning, and indeed it was a mistake not to block this.
Please now don't use it without thinking if it's really, really needed!
I recommend NOT to use malloc() at all in SPL code.
[Guess I should have a more carefull eye on all SPL related submissions and install a "grep-malloc-and-NAK" script. :-( ]
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
