talloc is an external library borrowed from samba :

http://talloc.samba.org/talloc/doc/html/index.html

The code running on the target currently uses a "stub" implementation
that only returns fixed size block no matter what is asked. it works
because so far the only piece of dynamic allocation is the msgb_alloc
... But to run everything on the phone you'll need a proper target
compatible implementation
