Follow-up Comment #8, bug #29872 (project pspp):
> As I understand it, the gnulib *alloc routines are supposed to accept zero,
without crashing. Perhaps we should report this as a bug on the gnulib list.
The xcalloc() function has this comment:
/* Allocate zeroed memory for N elements of S bytes, with error
checking. S must be nonzero. */
I personally think that this divergence from calloc()'s behavior is
undesirable, but it is at least documented.
