On operating systems with opportunistic malloc() (e.g. default setting in
GNU/Linux) malloc can sometimes allocate a huge memory region but later the
process will get killed on the first attempt to use this memory, so
checking for malloc's return value is not enough to prevent a crash.
This patch is compile-tested only.
