Actually, I see plenty of places where it occurs. I vaguely recall that malloc used to be #defined as ch_malloc within slapd, although I believe it is no longer. In any case, I'm in favor of avoiding those redefinitions, for the sake of clarity. The correct solution should be to replace them with ch_malloc() (same for other memory-related functions, like calloc(), realloc(), strdup() and free(), although the latter is not strictly needed).
