Some checks for return codes are missing.

Examples:
Would you like to add more error handling for return values from "malloc" and "calloc" in the functions like "rdbuf_image" and "c_plscmap0n"?

There are more function calls left that should also be checked for error codes.

Examples:
- fprintf, fclose
line 2277: malloc( sizeof(PLDispatchTable) )
