There are lots of these cases right through the code, and also of not
checking the result from malloc.

On Linux this is not usually a problem, since you normally won’t see
such failures.

I think the only reasonable solution is to create wrappers for malloc
and realloc that print an error message and die on failure, and use
these everywhere instead of directly calling malloc and realloc.
