This breaks w3m.

Reverting this patch solves the segfaulting of mktable under CURRENT and
4.0 and it solves the problem of generating bogus entries under
3.4-STABLE.  It would parse tagtable.tab and generate a tagtable.c which
contained bogus characters which would cause the build to fail.

I am not sure which piece of the combination is in error.  Or boehm-gc
does something weird when you add -DREDIRECT_MALLOC=GC_malloc or w3m
needs to get its act together and provide a cleaner method in which it
can use this option.
