/* allocate dynamic memory large enough to hold in-file and app cells
 * Rmalloc allocates memory to hold  nrOfCells 
 * cells in both the in-file and app cell representation. Allocation
 * is done by malloc for other users. Our own (utrecht university) applications
 * calls ChkMalloc. Freeing memory allocated by Rmalloc is done by free (or Free).
 *
 * NOTE
 * Note that a possible RuseAs call must be done BEFORE Rmalloc.
 *
 * returns
 * a pointer the allocated memory or
 * NULL
 * if the request fails
