malloc will return a pointer != NULL if 0 bytes is requested (and the
allocation did succeed). A simple test program shows this. The
Linux manual page isn't very clear on the issue; the OpenBSD one
describes it though 
(http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=malloc&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html).
