- I think this happens when the malloc(0) returns NULL but the X libraries are
- not compiled with the flag that tells them that this happens. Why they need
- a compile-time flag for this instead of just *dealing* with it, I don't know.
- Good solution: recompile your X libraries with this flag. Not so good
- solution: modify gmalloc.c to actually allocate memory for 0-length blocks.
- Worse solution: use the system malloc.
