Sorry to be following up to myself.  I just noticed that _Heap_Block_allocate() returns a heap block pointer, so it can work the way malloc() does.  I thought it just operated on the heap pointer passed in.

Never mind.  I personally (almost) never return a pointer but try to always use error returns.
