Allocates memory. This function must be used instead standart "malloc",
especially when building a shared object. It arranges things correctly,
so as the memory allocated be visible by the main program and by the
shared object (a shared library or a dll under windows). The whole CDM
uses this routine for ALL memory allocations...
