I don't mind these patches; they are clean code
however, one of the core userspace developers at work basically said "we don't
check for malloc NULL in userspace;
if that ever happens the system is so screwed up anyway that you just cannot
continue".
Thanks for the quick reply. :)
Basically I agree with you. But even in that case it'd be better
letting a user know about current situation somehow rather than just
segfault. Maybe by replacing them to xmalloc or so?
Thanks,
