Argh.  Let me say that again:

I'm proposing that Keith move the "p malloc" line *after* the call
to "runto_main".  That would detect that malloc was available in the
inferior.

If malloc is available in the inferior, then callfwmall.exp should
stop execution.  If malloc is not available, then callfwmall.exp can
continue testing that gdb can make inferior calls in a target program
that does not have malloc.
