the hidden stuff is all documented in include/libc-symbols.h ... if, after 
reading that, there's something missing, just lemme know and i'll do a 
human-readable brain dump on the topic ... at first (and second and 
third ...) go, they can be hard to digest

more to the point ... how exactly would __uc_malloc be useful ?  i dont think 
ive ever seen malloc() return NULL as the kernel is the first to find out 
about the OOM situation and properly nukes any userspace app before it ever 
sees the relevant NULL ...
