Yes, of course. But this part of malloc's behavior is so painful that Emacs code 
typically never invokes malloc directly; it uses xmalloc, which is guaranteed to 
return non-null. Many modules will have needs similar to Emacs itself in that 
respect, and it would be better if they didn't have to reinvent this so-common 
wheel.
