Aahh.. I thought it was because malloc succeeded but returned an address
that could not be stored in a Lisp_Object (i.e. an object outside the Lisp
address space).
On GNU/Linux, malloc should only fail if you run out of virtual memory,
which seems rather odd (and should impact equally all other running
applications).
