lint warning messages with malloc()

Incorrect assumption.  "lint" doesn't know "malloc()" from a hole in the
ground; it has no idea that it returns maximally-aligned pointers.  This
might be considered a deficiency in "lint".

There is nothing wrong with the alignment of the "*z pointer".  Do not
adjust your set.

As one version of the "lint" manual page said, under the BUGS section,
"There are some things you just *can't* get 'lint' to shut up about."
