Page 33 of the "Microsoft C Compiler Run-Time Library Reference
Manual" (Page 31 for Version 4.00) incorrectly states that _amblksiz
"is declared in the include file malloc.h". It is not there.

You can use the variable in your program by declaring the variable as
follows:

extern unsigned int _amblksiz;
