It is an intentional violation of the API.  But most of the cases (except
malloc04) are calling it to just get the amount of free space
(e.g. malloc_free_space()).  I am testing a patch that should address 
all but malloc04.

malloc04 is replacing the malloc heap with another one so it can test the 
sbrk functionality in the malloc family.  I only see two ways to do this:

+ add it to a .h file
+ add "malloc_get_heap/malloc_set_heap"

I don't particularly care.  Which do you prefer?
