Try using valgrind if you want to search for memory errors.  It's
unlikely that this is your problem, however, or it would just crash
rather than politely giving you error codes.

I don't think new_form() sets errno, according to the man page, so
looking at its value is probably misleading.

RETURN VALUE
       The  function  new_form returns NULL on error.  It sets errno according
       to the function's success:
...
       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
            System error occurred, e.g., malloc failure.

(why it's getting a malloc problem - I don't know)
