First, this function is not meant to be called by user code.  The
comments clearly state this.  And: I've removed the allocation
function now from the installed header.

Second, even if the user would allocate signals using this function
nothing bad would happen.  The whole purpose of this function is to
prevent this.

You have not even described the problem.  How shall I know what you
want to fix.
