-47- Why does malloc() never return NULL?
Virtual memory is effectively infinitely large in IRIX 4.0.x, and it can be configured to be so in IRIX 5.x. malloc() never returns NULL because requests are always granted. The admin FAQ gives further background, and tells how to configure your system to limit virtual memory to physical memory and physical swap space.
