> well, I think that g_malloc() can return NULL in the same case as
malloc() though it is not documented :( Anyway it looks like you do not
care about this case, so I'm ok to not do this check.
g_malloc() only returns NULL if you pass a length of 0. This is impossible
in this case, as we're adding two to the data length anyway. (Well, if
that's -2 or something, I suppose, but that really shouldn't be
happening.) malloc() returns NULL when it can't allocate memory. If you
ask g_malloc() for memory, it asks malloc(). If malloc() returns NULL,
g_malloc() calls abort() and the application terminates.
