b2.exe crashes on Windows 8 x64

Description

On Windows 8 release (x64) b2.exe crashes due to bad malloc()'s. This appears to be caused by a missing stdlib.h include in mem.h.

Attached is a very simple fix.

Possibly related, v1.50 of boost crashes in jam0.exe on Windows 8 x64. This appears to have been fixed in trunk, but I don't know why.

Update: I have tested v1.51.0 RC from ​http://boost.cowic.de/rc/ and it appears that both jam0.exe and b2.exe crash therefor causing Boost to fail to build on Windows 8 x64. Both seem to be related to pointer truncation.
