As for this part:  Does the program in fact have a prototype for
malloc(3) in sight ?  Can you try to explicitly add a wrong prototype
to see that it complains ?  Alternatively, #include <stdlib.h> to get
it a prototype.

I looked briefly at the source code of the test-program and while I am
in a position to say that it is doing something wrong with the casting,
it does look mightily bogus to me.
