Any UDF that creates memory for the server should use
ib_util_malloc
available in ib_util.h; this has been documented for ages but people didn't
pay much attention. It's the only way to ensure the server and the UDF use
the same heap.

Some poeple were lucky to make UDFs compiled with the stdcall work with IB
but it was always wrong: the calling convention is cdecl.
