According to SuSv3:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/malloc.html
Upon successful completion with size not equal to 0, malloc()
shall return a pointer to the allocated space. If size is 0,
either a null pointer or a unique pointer that can be
successfully passed to free() shall be returned. Otherwise, it
shall return a null pointer and set errno to indicate the error.
