33 /* Replacements for malloc and strdup with error checking. Too trivial
34 to be worth copyrighting :-). I did that because a lot of code used
35 malloc and strdup without checking for NULL pointer, and I like some
36 message better than a core dump... --marekm
38 Yeh, but. Remember that bailing out might leave the system in some
39 bizarre state. You really want to put in error checking, then add
40 some back-out failure recovery code. -- jfh */
