Heap allocation in the RTS

[David Feuer]

I'm working on re-implementing the stable name system. For the new design,
it seems much cleaner to allocate stable names in lookupStableName (in
rts/StableName.c) rather than in the C-- code that calls it. But I haven't
seen RTS code that does heap allocation. Is it possible? If so, how do I do
it?
