So I tried this on a Snow Leopard machine (running Xcode-3.2.6) and
the compiler complained that there was an invalid conversion from
'void*' to 'char*', replacing the call to malloc() in the above with:

  if ((copy = (char*)malloc(len + 1)) == NULL)

allowed compilation to proceed. You seem more familiar with this so is
this a valid approach or should I be doing something else?
