Compare the glib manual:

http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.30/glib-Memory-Allocation.html#g-malloc

http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.30/glib-Memory-Allocation.html#g-try-malloc

So, g_malloc() may return NULL if the requested size is zero, and it may
abort but does not return NULL due to insufficient memory available.

HTH,
